The Impact of Sinus Floor Elevation Techniques on Sinus Membrane Perforation: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

To compare the risk of sinus membrane perforation (SMP) among lateral window sinus floor elevation (LSFE) and transcrestal sinus floor elevation (TSFE) techniques in prospective and retrospective studies for patients who underwent sinus augmentation for dental implant placement. A database search was conducted to screen the literature published from January 1960 to August 2021. The associations between SMP and surgical techniques as well as other clinical factors were evaluated via network meta-analysis.

Risk factors and longitudinal regenerative outcomes of sinus membrane perforation during lateral window sinus floor elevation: A retrospective analysis up to 9 years.

Background: Lateral-window sinus floor elevation (LSFE) is a reliable procedure to reconstruct the posterior maxilla for implant therapy. This retrospective study aimed to investigate risk factors associated with Schneiderian membrane perforation (SMP) occurrence during LSFE and longitudinal regenerative outcomes following LSFE up to 9 years.

Methods: Patients who had LSFE between 2010 and 2019 were included.

Complications of sinus floor elevation procedure and management strategies: A systematic review.

Aim: This systematic review aimed to investigates the types and incidences of complications following sinus floor elevations (SFE) along with their prevention and management strategies.

Materials And Methods: Electronic database and hand search were conducted to screen the literature published from January 1960 to June 2021. The selected studies had to report well-described SFE techniques, complications during, and post-SFE.
