Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Implantology
  • Regenerative Dentistry

Background:

  • Lateral maxillary sinus elevation is crucial for dental implant placement in atrophic maxillae.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce surgical morbidity and improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an original minimally invasive technique for lateral maxillary sinus elevation.
  • To evaluate the success, complications, and influencing factors of this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 124 patients (147 sinuses) treated between 2008-2013.
  • Radiographic measurements and complication data collected 9 months post-surgery.
  • Bayesian network analysis to identify relationships between demographic/clinical factors and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Successful treatment in 122 patients with 240 implants placed; 2 implant failures (0.8%).
  • Sinus membrane perforation in 6% of cases; other complications in 5 patients.
  • Mean vertical bone gain of 7.44 mm; mean peri-implant marginal bone level of 1.10 mm.
  • Sedation associated with lower perforation rates; bone substitutes linked to higher complication rates.

Conclusions:

  • The described minimally invasive lateral maxillary sinus elevation technique is safe and effective.
  • It demonstrates a low rate of early implant failure and complications.
  • The technique facilitates significant bone augmentation for predictable implant placement.
