Sausage Technique

Sausage Technique explained by Dr. Octavi Ortiz

Explanation of the Sausage Technique

This technique, also called the “Sausage Technique”, is used in the back of the jaw, when there is not enough bone height to place several implants.

It is therefore a vertical bone regeneration. The gum is opened and separated well, so that it is loose to be able to surround the material that we will put underneath and which will have the shape of a sausage. The implants are placed, leaving two or three coils exposed. These spirals are surrounded with the patient's own powdered bone, which is obtained by scratching the most posterior and lateral part of the jaw with a curved scraper. A croquette of growth factors with biomaterial is placed on top.

On top of this, a long-lasting membrane is placed, fixed with thumbtacks, and which acts as a tent in which the masts would be the implants. The next layer is a fibrin membrane, on which the gum is sewn, which will remain distended. The implants must be unloaded for 9 months, that is, without placing the crowns or using removable eating devices. There may be paresthesia or tingling for a time. It is a complex and laborious technique that we try to avoid with very short implants.
