Area of Science:

  • Oral Surgery
  • Dental Implantology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Maxillary posterior edentulous regions often present with low sinuses and insufficient alveolar bone height.
  • Conventional sinus floor elevation techniques can be invasive and associated with patient discomfort.
  • Dental implants require adequate bone height for successful placement and long-term stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of minimally invasive sinus augmentation techniques against conventional methods.
  • To evaluate implant success rates and bone height increase following different sinus floor elevation procedures.
  • To assess patient-reported outcomes such as pain and swelling after minimally invasive versus conventional techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 140 participants and 191 dental implants.
  • Inclusion criteria: maxillary posterior edentulous regions, low sinuses, insufficient alveolar ridges.
  • Techniques compared: conventional lateral window, trans-alveolar, modified trephine, and antral membrane balloon elevation.

Main Results:

  • Minimally invasive techniques demonstrated a low incidence of pain and gingival swelling.
  • Implant success rates were comparable between minimally invasive and conventional sinus augmentation methods.
  • Significant increases in total bone height were observed with both approaches, with similar outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive sinus augmentation techniques are effective alternatives to conventional methods.
  • These techniques provide comparable bone augmentation and implant success rates with reduced patient morbidity.
  • The modified trephine and antral membrane balloon elevation techniques offer patient-friendly options for sinus floor elevation.
