A Comparative Study Between Graftless and Grafted Maxillary Sinus Lift Procedures for Implant Placement

Clinical and biological analysis in graftless maxillary sinus lift

Maxillary sinus lift for dental implant installation is a well-known and versatile technique; new techniques are presented based on the physiology of intrasinus bone repair. The aim of this review was to determine the status of graftless maxillary sinus lift and analyze its foundations and results. A search was conducted of the literature between 1995 and 2015 in the Medline, ScienceDirect, and...

Sinus tenting for posterior maxillary implant placement.

Maxillary Sinus Lift Up: An Indirect Approach for Implant Placement in Posterior Maxilla

The posterior maxilla presents several challenges to the implantologist. Implant dentistry has become an excellent treatment modality since its inception into the modern era of dentistry. When patients present with deficient alveolar ridges, it could jeopardize the application of implant dentistry. This problem is especially magnified in the posterior maxilla where ridge resorption and sinus pn...

Maxillary sinus lift for single implant-supported restorations: a clinical study.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate single-tooth implant-supported restorations placed in conjunction with several methods of maxillary sinus augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of all consecutively treated patients who received single-implant tooth rehabilitation in combination with sinus augmentation. Implant survival rate and peri-implant cond...

Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Maxillary Sinus Septa for Implant Placement

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to investigate, in 3 dimensions, the maxillary sinus septa as an alternative site for dental implant placement to avoid sinus lift procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS We selected 100 dentate and 100 edentate patients with the presence of a maxillary sinus septum by reviewing a larger cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) database from the Department of Oral and...
