The posterior maxillary area frequently presents challenges for conventional implant placement due to diminished residual vertical bone height. Elevation of the maxillary sinus floor is a potential solution to this issue, though it entails certain drawbacks.

Alternatively, the novel IPG-DET technique provides a minimally invasive, safe, and efficient approach. This protocol intentionally perforates the sinus membrane, leveraging the healing and augmentative potential of autologous concentrated growth factors (CGF). This article presents a case report detailing the application of immediate implant placement using the IPG-DET technique, incorporating autologous CGF and OT Seeger technology.
