Area of Science:

  • Dental implantology
  • Microsurgery
  • Maxillary sinus augmentation

Background:

  • Sinus augmentation is crucial for managing vertical bone loss in the posterior maxilla, enabling dental implant placement.
  • Conventional techniques face limitations in precision, complication management, and ergonomics, particularly in complex maxillary sinus regions.
  • The operating microscope offers enhanced visualization for improved precision in these challenging anatomical areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the principles, clinical applications, and instrumentation of microscope-assisted sinus augmentation.
  • To focus on lateral and transcrestal approaches, evaluating evidence compared to conventional methods.
  • To assess the impact of magnification on surgical outcomes and ergonomics.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review of studies published between 1986 and 2025 from major scientific databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar).
  • Manual reference checking supplemented database searches.
  • Synthesis of evidence on microscope application, microsurgical instrumentation, ergonomic strategies, and outcomes with piezoelectric, osteotome, and osseodensification techniques.

Main Results:

  • Microscope-assisted sinus augmentation provides enhanced visualization, enabling smaller antrostomies and precise preparation in lateral approaches, reducing perforation risk.
  • Transcrestal techniques under magnification may decrease patient morbidity and the risk of sinus membrane perforation.
  • Both approaches benefit from improved surgeon posture and ergonomic stability, though evidence relies on limited, small-scale studies with short follow-ups.

Conclusions:

  • Microscope-assisted sinus augmentation demonstrates potential for enhanced precision and safety in both lateral and transcrestal procedures.
  • The technique offers benefits such as reduced morbidity and improved ergonomics for clinicians.
  • Further validation through randomized controlled trials with long-term outcomes is required to establish clinical superiority.
