    Summary

    This study introduces a modified osteotome sinus floor elevation technique without grafting material, achieving 3.25 mm average bone augmentation. This method shows a 91.8% success rate for dental implants in augmented maxillary ridges.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Surgery
    • Implantology

    Background:

    • Insufficient maxillary posterior bone height is a common challenge for dental implant placement.
    • The osteotome sinus floor elevation technique is a standard procedure for bone augmentation.
    • Existing protocols often involve artificial graft materials.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a revised osteotome sinus floor elevation technique without artificial graft material.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and success rate of this modified technique over an 8-year period.
    • To determine the feasibility of using standard-diameter implants in augmented bone.

    Main Methods:

    • An 8-year retrospective study of a revised Summers technique for osteotome sinus floor elevation.
    • No artificial graft material was used; blood coagulum was relied upon for ossification.
    • Sinus bone elevation was measured, and implant success rates were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • Average bone augmentation achieved was 3.25 mm, with a range of 2.18 mm to 5.42 mm.
    • A cumulative success rate of 91.8% was observed for 61 placed fixtures.
    • Implants with primary stability could be placed in residual ridges of 3 mm to 4 mm height.

    Conclusions:

    • The revised osteotome sinus floor elevation technique, without grafting material, is effective for maxillary bone augmentation.
    • This technique allows for successful placement and functional loading of standard-diameter implants.
    • It offers a viable alternative for patients with insufficient maxillary posterior bone height.
