Additionally, the article discusses the factors that influence the success of the procedure, including patient age, residual bone height, and the kind of bone graft substance used. The review also emphasizes the importance of proper case selection, surgical planning, and postoperative care to ensure optimal outcomes. Overall, the article provides valuable insights into the current techniques used for sinus ridge augmentation, highlighting the need for further research to improve patient outcomes and the success of placing dental implants over the long run.
