Interventions for replacing missing teeth: augmentation procedures of the maxillary sinus

Sinus Lift Procedure and Immediate Implant Placing: A Piezo-Surgery and Platelet Rich Plasma Approach: A Case Report

“…Regarding Bone augmentation site, to present, 3 months passed from day of surgery. We'll be able to evaluate results in three to four months [27][28][29][30][31].…”

Retrospective cohort clinical investigation of a dental implant with a narrow diameter and short length for the partial rehabilitation of extremely atrophic jaws

“…This approach is justified when considering the more technically difficult and time-consuming alternatives, such as implants inserted into grafted bone (27), osteodistraction, or inferior alveolar nerve transposition (28) prior to implant insertion. A recent systematic review of randomized controlled trials (27) assessing the effects of bone augmentation versus no augmentation reported that there was insufficient evidence to support differences in prosthetic or implant failure rates between short implants placed without the sinus lift procedure and longer implants placed with the sinus lift procedure; nevertheless, an increase in the incidence of complications at the treated sites was evident with the sinus lift approach.…”

A prospective study evaluated the incidence of neurosensory disturbance and the cumulative survival and success rates of implants inserted in conjunction with inferior alveolar nerve transposition (28): despite the high survival and success rates, neurosensory disturbance was experienced by 21% of patients (4/19 patients) following the nerve transposition procedure, which remained unresolved in one patient after the study's completion.…”

Evidence‐Based Criteria for Differential Treatment Planning of Implant Restorations for the Maxillary Edentulous Patient

“…A Cochrane systematic review noted that, while conclusions are based on small trials with short follow-up, if the residual native bone height is 3 to 6 mm, a crestal approach to lift the sinus lining and place 8 mm implants may lead to fewer complications than a lateral window approach to place longer implants. 87 No significant relationship between crown-to-implant ratio and marginal bone loss has been established, at least when the C:I is <3:1. 88 However, esthetic consequences of altering normal anatomic relations may be problematic.…”
