Surgery and Orthopedics Poster Session

Poster 191 Anatomical Study of the Maxillary Tuberosity in Japanese Men.

Dr. Yamaura
I would like to extend a warm welcome to you an your colleagues. I hope you will find the INABIS conference to be an interesting and stimulating experience.
I noted in your paper that a surgical technique for implanation in the "pillar of bone" had already been described. What is your opinion of this technique? Given the rather narrow space into which the implant must be directed and the variability you demonstrate between individuals is the technique safe?
I also wondered whether 3D reconstruction from a CT scan could have been used to make your measurements? If so this test could be used in pre-operative planning and assessment.
