    Summary

    This study shows that a crestal approach for sinus floor elevation using hydroxyapatite is safe and effective. It successfully achieved bone height gain and implant osseointegration in edentulous patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Surgery
    • Implant Dentistry
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Sinus floor elevation is crucial for dental implant success in the posterior maxilla.
    • The crestal approach offers a less invasive alternative for sinus augmentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the clinical outcomes of a crestal approach sinus floor elevation technique.
    • To evaluate the use of alloplastic material (hydroxyapatite) in this procedure.
    • To determine implant survival rates and bone height changes.

    Main Methods:

    • 50 edentulous patients underwent 64 sinus floor elevations via a crestal approach.
    • Hydroxyapatite granules were used for augmentation, followed by immediate implant placement.
    • Patients were followed for 18 months post-loading, with radiographic bone height measurements.

    Main Results:

    • All implants successfully osseointegrated, with no patient dropouts.
    • Significant bone height gain was observed, increasing from a mean of 6.20 mm to 15.40 mm.
    • Only one minor complication (sinus membrane perforation) occurred without negative sequelae.

    Conclusions:

    • The crestal approach sinus floor elevation with hydroxyapatite is a predictable procedure.
    • It effectively achieves sinus augmentation and high implant osseointegration rates.
    • The technique demonstrates a favorable safety profile with minimal complications.
