“…The present results are in accordance with previous case series study results where the elevated sinus membrane was maintained by fixing a titanium plate to the lateral wall of the sinus, where only 40.2 % of the space below the plate was maintained after 6 months [2]. In this case series study 6 months postoperative CBCT demonstrated a small gap between the titanium mesh and the newly formed bone.…”

“…Maxillary sinus pneumatization and defective bone quality and quantity are amid the factors that limit maxillary ridge rehabilitation using dental implants [1]. Various adjunctive surgical techniques have been developed to improve the quality of bone and the surrounding soft tissues and conquer the bone volume deficiency for successful placement and support of dental implants [2]. …”

BACKGROUND:Various attempts have been implemented using different materials and techniques to augment the maxillary sinus floor for prospect dental implant positioning.AIM:This contemplate was conducted to assess the osteogenic capability of the maxillary sinus in a two-step sinus membrane elevation using titanium mesh to keep the formed space to place dental implants in atrophic ridges.MATERIALS AND METHODS:Titanium micromesh was customized and positioned into the sinus on one side to preserve the elevated membrane in position. On the other side xenograft was applied. Instant and 6-months postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was done to assess the gained bone height and density. Bone core biopsies were obtained during implant placement for histological and histomorphometric evaluation.RESULTS:The average bone height values increased in both groups. Meanwhile the average bone density value was higher at the graft group than the titanium mesh group. Histological and histomorphometric evaluation presented the average bone volume of the newly formed bone in the graft group which is superior to that of the titanium mesh group.CONCLUSION:The use of the titanium micromesh as a space-maintaining device after Schneiderian membrane elevation is a trustworthy technique to elevate the floor of the sinus without grafting.

Introduction Implant placement in an atrophic posterior maxilla is challenging due to sinus pneumatization and presence of insufficient bone volume. Sinus floor elevation (SFE) is a feasible approach to increase the available alveolar bone dimensions. It is known that the maxillary sinus has a potential for healing and bone formation without the need of bone grafts or bone substitutes. However, current graft‐free sinus SFE approaches are technique sensitive and non‐reliable in consistent bone formation. This paper introduces the slit‐window technique as a novel and simple technique to perform graft‐free sinus floor elevation. Case Presentation A 66‐year‐old male presented with edentulous regions in the posterior maxilla and bilateral sinus pneumatization. The treatment included SFE using the graft‐free slit‐window technique on the right site and traditional lateral SFE with bone augmentation on the left site. Two implants were placed simultaneously during sinus lift procedures in each side. The slit‐window technique was performed using a rigid barrier membrane in conjunction with stabilizing bony slits to tent the Schneiderian membrane superiorly. Healing was uneventful for implants in both sides. Six months postoperatively, the amount of bone formation in the non‐grafted site was comparable to that of the grafted site. Conclusion Slit‐window sinus floor elevation procedure is a simple technique to elevate the floor of the sinus without the need for bone grafting.

“…An interesting series of clinical cases have been presented byAtef M. et al [16], investigating the use of a titanium micromesh for lateral-windowsinus floor elevation without bone grafting. The 3-D scans showed that the initial residual ridge height was 3.6 mm ± 1.6 mm prior to surgery, while 6 months postoperativelyit reached 9.63 mm ± 1.47 mm.…”

Nongrafted Sinus Floor Elevation with a Space‐Maintaining Titanium Mesh: Case‐Series Study on Four Patients

Abstract: Within the limitations of this study due to the small sample size, the use of the titanium micromesh as a space-maintaining device after schneiderian membrane elevation is a reliable technique to elevate the floor of the sinus without grafting.
