Objective:
To test the hypothesis of no difference in the long-term treatment outcome after osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation with or without a grafting material.
Materials And Methods:
A MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE search in combination with a hand-search of relevant journals was conducted, including human studies published in English from January 1, 1986 to December 1, 2017.
Results:
One comparative and 7 noncomparative studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Survival of suprastructures had never been compared within the same study. Meta-analysis demonstrated an overall estimated patient-based implant survival of 94%. Gain in vertical alveolar bone height was similar with the 2 treatment modalities. Noncomparative studies demonstrated high long-term survival rate of suprastructures and implants with the 2 treatment modalities, as well as limited periimplant marginal bone loss.
Conclusion:
High long-term implant survival was demonstrated after osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation with or without a grafting material. However, long-term randomized controlled trials comparing the 2 treatment modalities are sparse. Hence, conclusions drawn from this systematic review should be interpreted with caution.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
