The study describes a surgical technique for the use of Ramus bone cores routinely used in the surgical rebuilding of deficient maxillary sinuses. The bone core harvest is predictable and without significant morbidity to the patient. There is clinical evidence to suggest this technique may significantly speed up the process of building load-bearing bone with mechanical stability, allowing for earlier implant placement in strong bone.
