Area of Science:

Dental Implantology
Oral Surgery
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Insufficient bone volume in the maxillary sinus is a common challenge for dental implant placement.
The direct maxillary sinus lift is a procedure to augment bone, traditionally using various grafting materials.
The necessity of grafting materials in all direct sinus lift procedures requires further investigation.

Approach:

Systematic review of scientific literature from 1997 to October 2014.
Searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane CENTRAL for studies on direct sinus lifts without grafting material.
Included human or animal studies with a minimum 6-month follow-up; data heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis.

Key Points:

The direct sinus lift technique without grafting material can lead to significant new bone formation.
Average bone gain ranged from 2.37 to 10 mm across reviewed studies.
Implant survival rates in these cases ranged from 79.9% to 100%.

Conclusions:

The direct sinus lift without grafting material is a viable treatment option for prosthetic rehabilitation.
This approach can achieve predictable outcomes with substantial bone gain and high implant survival.
Further research may refine the understanding of the mechanisms and indications for this technique.
