The Modified Osseodensification Visco-Elastic (MOVE) Sinus Protocol: A Case Series to Illustrate the Combination of Osseodensification With Viscoelastic Bone Replacement Material.

INTRODUCTION
The Modified Osseodensification Visco-Elastic (MOVE) protocol combines two established techniques for sinus lifting: osseodensification drills to elevate the Schneiderian membrane, and the use of a viscoelastic putty to distribute forces on the membrane, a combination first described by Neiva et al (2019). This case series elucidates the technique for combining these materials, and its possible benefits, which include reduced procedure time, less traumatic sinus elevation, and more versatility for unusual sinus anatomy such as sloped sinus floors and immediate implant sites.


CASE SERIES
The three cases illustrating a single implant, adjacent implants, and an immediate implant, demonstrate various indications for using the MOVE protocol, documented with two- and three-dimensional radiography. The MOVE protocol is explained in detail with supplemental photos of the steps.


CONCLUSION
Applying the MOVE protocol has the potential to allow for same-day implant placement in sites that previously required preoperative bone augmentation or lateral wall sinus access, thereby reducing the extent of surgical invasiveness associated with implant placement in the posterior maxilla.
