To date, it remains a challenge to conduct maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE) owing to heterogeneity of anatomical structures and limited operative visibility of the maxillary sinus. The aim of th...
Forty-two implants were placed in thirty-five patients requiring implantation in posterior maxilla with dynamic navigation. They were assigned to either lateral window sinus floor elevation (LWSFE) gr...
Neither accidental bleeding nor perforation of Schneiderian membrane occurred in any patients. The actual window position of LWSFE was consistent with the preoperative design. There were no significan...
In this study the dynamic navigation harvested clinically acceptable safety of MSFE and accuracy for implant placement in posterior maxillary region. The dynamic navigation would provide the clinician...
Complications that occur after maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSA) can be divided into early and late complications. Early complication is a side effect that occurs during the MSA procedure or du...
To compare clinical and histological outcomes of sinus augmentation performed immediately or 3 months after pseudocyst removal through a prospective randomized controlled study....
In total, 33 sinus augmentation procedures were performed in 31 patients. Augmentation was performed either immediately after pseudocyst removal (one-stage intervention) or after 3 months (two-stage i...
There were no baseline differences between groups or dropouts. Twelve biopsies obtained for histomorphometric analysis showed that delayed sinus augmentation, when compared to immediated led to a 1.1%...
Both procedures of sinus augmentation immediately and 3 months after pseudocyst removal could obtain comparable histological outcomes and had low complication rates. Patients who underwent the one-sta...
To evaluate the relationship between proximity of the root apices of healthy maxillary posterior teeth to the maxillary sinus floor (MSF) and mucosal thickening (MT) of the MSF using cone beam compute...
Eighty-four CBCT images obtained from the patients, aged between 20 and 70 years with healthy and fully dentate maxillary posterior sextants, were included. The anatomical relationship between root ap...
Intraexaminer consistency demonstrated an excellent agreement (p < 0.05). The prevalence of Type 1, 2, and 3 proximity were found as 26 (15.5%), 61 (36.3%), and 81 (48.2%); respectively. Overall, 62 (...
The proximity of healthy maxillary posterior teeth to the MSF was not found to be a contributing factor for the MT of the MSF. Further studies with larger samples, taking the other factors causing MT ...
Lateral-window sinus floor elevation (LSFE) is a reliable procedure to reconstruct the posterior maxilla for implant therapy. This retrospective study aimed to investigate risk factors associated with...
Patients who had LSFE between 2010 and 2019 were included. All demographic and surgical-related data were retrieved from existing electronic health records. Radiographs were used to evaluate the verti...
A total of 122 LSFE procedures in 99 patients were included in the study. Mean ridge height gain and graft shrinkages were 9.5 ± 3.47 and 1.57 ± 2.85 mm. The influence of the healing period on graft s...
With inherent limitation, the findings with up to 9 years of follow-up indicate a consistent ridge remodeling lasting for about 3 years after LSFE procedures. SMP or membrane thickening may not signif...
This study aimed to compare two novel techniques for chronic oroantral fistula (OAF) closure combined with maxillary sinus floor elevation....
Ten patients who had implant installation needs but suffered from a chronic OAF were enrolled in the study from January 2016 to June 2021. The technique applied involved OAF closure and simultaneous s...
In this study, 5 patients with a chronic OAF were treated with the transalveolar approach (group I), and 5 were treated with the lateral window approach (group II). The alveolar bone height was signif...
The techniques combined OAF closure with sinus lifting to reduce surgical frequency and risks. The transalveolar approach resulted in milder postoperative reactions, but the lateral approach could pro...
This study aimed to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of implants after osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE), and further identify the separate predictors for these radiographic outcomes....
In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 187 implants were inserted into 138 patients using the OSFE technique. Seventy-four patients in the grafted group, and 64 patients in the non-grafted gro...
One hundred and six implants in grafted group and 81 implants in the non-grafted group were analyzed. The average VBG was 2.12 ± 1.94 mm for the grafted group and 0.44 ± 1.01 mm for the non-grafted gr...
OSFE with or without simultaneous grafting materials both showed predictable clinical outcomes. Additionally, the present study is the first quantitative and significant verification that VBG has a si...
Since the introduction of sinus augmentation in the 1970s the procedure has been performed with or without biomaterials. Autologous blood products (ABPs) for use in sinus augmentation was first introd...
Three different applications of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in maxillary sinus augmentation are presented in this case series. In case 1, L-PRF is used in bilateral sinus augmentation ...
All cases resulted in the successful placement of dental implants. In case 2, an osseodensification procedure was performed with freeze-dried bone allograft, which provided an approximate 4 mm of addi...
To date, there is only a limited amount of evidence reporting on platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or L-PRF use in maxillary sinus augmentation. Bone gain from either product has ranged from 3.2 to 11.8 mm, ...
Partially edentulous patients who present with inadequate bone height in the posterior maxillary can predictably be rehabilitated with lateral wall sinus augmentation and subsequent implant placement....
The aim of this study was to retrospectively determine the effects of applying different treatment methods to the bony access window on the healing outcomes in lateral sinus floor elevation (SFE). Lat...
