Graftless Sinus Augmentation via Crestal Sinus Floor Elevation using Densah Burs with Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Clinical Report after Two Years in Service

Abstract

Maxillary sinus floor elevation is a reliable surgical procedure to establish oral rehabilitation using implant prostheses in the atrophic maxilla. Both lateral sinus floor elevation (LSFE) and crestal sinus floor elevation (CSFE) are viable to augment inadequate alveolar bone height. Still, the results of post-surgical trauma, complications, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) vary. Furthermore, combining bone grafting for maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is suggested to increase the volume of the alveolar ridge, yet more researches have demonstrated outcomes of the graftless method. This clinical report describes a graftless sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement utilizing Densah burs implementing CSFE through the osseodensification method.
