Chronic maxillary sinusitis accompanied by severe thickening of the sinus mucosa, blockage of the ostium, and patient-reported symptoms requires preoperative assessment and treatment by an otolaryngol...
Maxillary sinus floor augmentation using lateral window and crestal technique is considered as predictable methods to increase the residual bone height; however, this surgery is commonly complicated b...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscope-controlled sinus floor augmentation through a mini-lateral window, compared with traditional lateral window approach....
This retrospective research included 19 patients and 20 augmented sinuses using lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement (test group: a 3-4 mm round osteotomy; control group: a 10 ×...
No significant difference was found in ESBG, ABH between the two groups at T1, T2 or their changes from T1 to T2. However, the increase of bone density value in the test group was significantly higher...
Endoscope-controlled maxillary sinus floor augmentation through a mini-lateral window yield similar result with traditional approach in terms of bone height gain. The modified approach could facilitat...
To retrospectively compare multilevel volumetric changes in both hard and soft tissues between antral pseudocyst (AP) removal and retainment before maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) and immedi...
Twenty-six patients with 38 implants placed from 2016 to 2021 were included and divided according to a cohort design as follows: 13 removing the cyst (RC group) and 13 "leaving alone" the cyst (LC gro...
The 3D volumetric change rate of bone grafts in the RC group (-9.32% ± 10.01%) from T2 to T3 was significantly lower than that in the LC group (-19.8% ± 10.59%) (p < .05). The change rate of apical bo...
The present study demonstrated that compared to AP retainment, AP removal before MSFA and immediate implant placement can obtain higher bone graft volumetric stability and favorable prognosis....
(1) Background: In oral surgery, bone regeneration is achieved through various types of bone grafts or bone substitutes and its success is usually analyzed by micro-computed tomography and histomorpho...
Different biomaterials were suggested for sinus floor augmentation (SFA). Recently, new materials were launched showing true bone formation without remnants....
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate an hydroxyapatite-based, sugar cross-linked collagen sponge (OSSIX™ Bone) in transcrestal SFA (t-SFA)....
Twenty-four patients with edentulous posterior maxilla and residual bone height (RBH) >4 mm underwent t-SFA with OSSIX™ Bone as grafting material and simultaneous implant placement. The implant Stabil...
Twenty-two patients completed the study. The mean RBH measured at baseline was 5.81 ± 2.2 mm. The mean graft volume was 1085.8 ± 733.4 mm...
Within the limitations of the study, OSSIX™ Bone could be considered a valid material for SFA due to its manageability and its positive results in promoting new bone formation with long-term stability...
Sinus floor elevation (SFE) by transcrestal approach has been proven to be a predictable and minimally invasive treatment that augments posterior maxilla with insufficient bone height, allowing the pr...
To estimate the association between smoking and Schneiderian membrane perforation in sinus floor augmentation....
Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Data were extracted by two authors independently. The inclusion criteria were the (1) age of patients >18, (2) the numb...
Of 1463 articles screened, nine studies were included in our systematic review, and eight were synthesized for meta-analysis. Eight were retrospective observational studies and one was a clinical tria...
Smoking increased the risk of membrane perforation in maxillary sinus floor augmentation. Our evaluation was limited by the poor reporting of the number of cigarettes smoked per day (PROSPERO number w...
After tooth loss in the posterior area of the maxilla, sinus floor elevation is often required to compensate the vertical bone loss due to sinus pneumatization. This narrative review reports on the po...
This paper addressed two focused questions: Focused question 1 (Q1) "what is the clinical efficacy of transcrestal sinus floor augmentation (TSFA), as compared to lateral sinus floor augmentation (LSF...
An electronic search (PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) and hand search were conducted from January 1986 until December 2022. All eligible clinical studies expressly ...
Seven RCTs were included for Q1 and 25 studies (9 RCTs, 2 CCTs, 14 single arm cohort studies) for Q2. Q1: Meta-analysis did not show significant difference in the implant survival, sinus membrane perf...
With the limitations of the present study (high risk of bias in individual studies), it can be concluded that there was no significant difference in implant survival, Schneiderian membrane perforation...
