Dental implants placed after sinus elevation using plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) showed a 100% survival rate. This PRGF sinus elevation technique is safe and effective for implant success.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Sinus elevation is crucial for dental implant placement in atrophic maxillae.
  • Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a biomaterial used to enhance tissue regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a lateral sinus elevation approach using PRGF technology.
  • To evaluate the long-term survival rate of dental implants placed after PRGF-assisted sinus elevation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 18 patients with 43 implants.
  • Sinus floor elevation performed with PRGF in patients with 1-3 mm residual bone height.
  • Low-speed drilling (50 rpm) without irrigation for implant placement; histological evaluation of grafted sinus samples.

Main Results:

  • 100% overall dental implant survival rate.
  • Mean follow-up of 33 months (24-44 months).
  • Histomorphometry showed 25.24% vital newly formed bone, 50.31% soft connective tissue, and 24.46% residual graft material.

Conclusions:

  • The lateral sinus elevation approach using PRGF is safe, simple, and effective.
  • This technique provides predictable outcomes for dental implant rehabilitation.
  • PRGF technology offers a viable option for bone augmentation in implant dentistry.
