AI Article Synopsis
- Several systematic reviews indicate that maxillary sinus augmentation is a reliable and effective method for improving the atrophic posterior maxilla.
- The authors found a gap in the literature as no comprehensive reviews had examined all clinical aspects of the procedure.
- They conducted a thorough search of multiple databases to gather studies on topics such as maxillary sinus anatomy, surgical methods, materials used, and possible complications related to sinus augmentation.
Article Abstract
Several systematic reviews have shown that maxillary sinus augmentation is a predictable and effective procedure for augmentation of an atrophic posterior maxilla. However, we know of no reviews that have covered all the clinical aspects. We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cinhal, and Cochrane databases up to January 2015 to select relevant studies that cover the different objectives of this review, including the anatomy of the maxillary sinus, surgical techniques, biomaterials used in the sinus augmentation, and potential complications.
