Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a new technique for maxillary sinus floor elevation through the crestal approach, using trephines and osteotomes with stops, and to assess the risk of sinus membrane lesion.
Study Design: The study was performed on 30 heads removed from fresh nonpreserved cadavers with subsinus bone height >or=5 mm. The anatomic specimens were sectioned axially on a plane passing 1 cm below the infraorbital foramen, to be able to see and film the sinus floor covered by the membrane. A total of 112 implants were placed using this technique (48 without grafting material and 64 with grafting material).
Results: Using this technique, we obtained a 4-6 mm elevation of the sinus membrane without impairing the mucosa. In the 13 cases where membrane lesions were observed, 9 had been performed without grafting material. The greater the initial subsinus bone height, the higher the elevation observed.
Conclusions: The success of this technique was due to stops on the trephines and osteotomes, which reduced the risk of invading the sinus cavity and made it possible to lift the membrane gently, fully controlling movements. This technique is indicated for large crests of type III or IV bone and with a minimal bone height of 5 mm.

Objective: This study aims to determine the anatomical relationship between the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus during preoperative radiological evaluations in the posterior maxillary dental region, as well as to evaluate the prevalence of PSAA and its potential associations with sinus pathologies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study is based on the analysis of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data from 510 sinuses of 255 patients. The visibility of the PSAA vascular canal, artery diameters, vertical distance between the alveolar crest and the artery, and the distance to the sinus floor were measured in coronal sections.
The Repair of Large Maxillary Sinus Membrane Perforations with a Collagen Membrane Stabilized with Tacks on the Medial and Lateral Walls: A Technical Note.
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent
January 2025
Sinus membrane perforations are among the most commonly reported intraoperative complications encountered during maxillary sinus floor elevation procedures performed via the lateral window approach. Large perforations (> 10 mm) can pose a major clinical challenge, and often result in failed bone augmentation and poorer long-term implant survival. Owing to these challenges, even a highly skilled oral implant surgeon with advanced training in implantology faced with such perforations may abandon grafting procedures in favor of a reentry approach.

: Sinus lifting, a procedure to augment bone in the maxilla, may cause complications such as sinusitis due to impaired drainage. This study aimed to assess how sinus lifting impacts airflow in the sinus cavity, which is essential for patients undergoing dental implants. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this research analyzed airflow changes after sinus floor elevation, offering insights into the aerodynamic consequences of the procedure.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a combination of immediate implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) solely using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on guided bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An interventional before-after (pre-post) study design was used with 30 dental patients (≥18 years of age; 14 males and 16 females) with initial bone heights ranging between 4 and 6 mm. Following the general check-up and the creation of a study model, the planned implant location demonstrated an external right maxilla diameter of more than 5 mm, thereby validating the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph.

Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.
