Summary: This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) in sinus lift procedures, compared and/or in addition to Deproteinized Bovine Bone Materials (DBBM). The results suggest that PRF associated with DBBM is a valid alternative in bone regeneration, but further research is needed to explore the potential of platelet concentrates and the inductivity properties of DBBM in sinus lift techniques.

Summary: This case report introduces a novel approach for successful lateral maxillary sinus augmentation in the unrepairable perforation area of the Schneiderian membrane. By performing bone grafting on the sinus floor and utilizing the open lateral window technique, the risk of bone graft particles blocking the sinus ostium was minimized.

Summary: Sinus augmentation is a crucial step in posterior maxillary implant prosthesis reconstruction. Literature shows that the implant success rate is comparable to pristine bone. This review thoroughly discusses different osteotomy techniques, indications for 1 or 2-stage approaches, control of Schneiderian membrane integrity, and management of intra- and post-operative complications. The use of contemporary advanced techniques, such as lateral wall osteotomy, has shown reduced invasiveness and complication occurrences. A well-codified patient selection involving a rhinologist as part of the medical team is beneficial for early diagnosis. In-depth knowledge of anatomy, standardized surgical technique, and understanding of complication etiology and management are prerequisites for minimizing patient morbidity and achieving predictable successful outcomes.

Summary: This study compared two beta-tricalcium phosphates with different particle sizes in human maxillary sinuses lifting, and evaluated osteoblast precursor cells and vascular formation using immunolabeling. The results showed that the evaluated bone substitutes had suitable outcomes for bone regeneration.

Summary: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the factors that increase the risk of membrane perforation. Patients underwent CBCT before surgery, and various anatomical and patient-related factors were assessed. The presence of septa, mucous retention cysts, lateral wall thickness, membrane thickness, and residual bone height were found to be predictive factors. Age, gender, and smoking were considered as covariates. The study concluded that anatomical, habitual, and pathological factors may increase the risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation during sinus floor augmentation surgery.

Summary: This study tested the hypothesis of no difference in bone regeneration after maxillary sinus floor augmentation using different ratios of iliac or mandibular autograft and deproteinized bovine bone mineral. The results showed that the percentage of bone regeneration significantly increased with a higher ratio of autograft, regardless of the origin of the graft.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare two different forms of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) - granules and paste - in human maxillary sinus bone reconstruction. The results showed that both BCP granules and paste had suitable bone formation and high osteocalcin immunolabeling, indicating good bone calcification for dental implant placement.

Summary: This study analyzed the correlation between surgical complexity and patient's sex, type of edentulism, and left or right side of the maxilla. The cone beam computed tomography records of 1192 maxillary sinuses were evaluated and statistically analyzed. The findings suggest that there is no correlation between surgical complexity and patient's sex, type of edentulism, and left or right side of the maxilla.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term clinical outcomes of bone regeneration procedures using algae-derived plant hydroxyapatite compared with demineralized anorganic bovine bone, in combination with autologous blood-derived PRP. The results showed that both biomaterials are suitable for sinus grafting in severely atrophic maxillae.

Summary: This study demonstrated that autogenous block bone obtained from lateral sinus bony window can be used successfully for the augmentation of wide post-extraction defects, and it integrates well with the adjacent native bone.

Summary: This study used network meta-analysis (NMA) to determine the influence of residual bone height (RBH) on new bone formation after lateral sinus augmentation, and found that there is no consistently superior grafting biomaterial for new bone formation.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the effectiveness of transcrestal maxillary sinus augmentation and the graft resorption pattern using different heterologous bone substitutes. The results showed that the transcrestal technique for maxillary sinus augmentation is highly predictable, and the graft resorption pattern is related to the postoperative graft size.

Summary: The effects of horizontal platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF) bone block in sinus augmentation were verified in a rabbit model, showing that the H-PRF bone block group had higher vertical bone gain, bone density, trabecular number, trabecular thickness, and lower trabecular separation compared to the deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) group. Furthermore, H-PRF bone block promoted angiogenesis, bone formation, and bone remodeling.

Summary: This retrospective observational study found that maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) did not have a significant influence on implant survival and marginal bone loss in posterior maxilla over a follow-up period of 5.8 to 22 years.
