Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and clinical results of a new crestal sinus lift technique used to elevate the sinus floor simultaneously with bone grafts and implant placement.
Methods: Eleven patients underwent this crestal sinus lift technique performed using an SCA KIT. The mean residual bone height was 6.4 mm (range: 4.1 mm to 8.6 mm). Bio-Oss collagen was used as the graft material, and 12 implants were simultaneously placed after sinus augmentation. Radiographic and clinical examinations were conducted during follow-up.
Results: All procedures were successfully performed with no obvious Schneiderian membrane perforation. The sinus floor was augmented with a mean height of 4.8 mm (range: 2.8 to 7.4 mm). Twelve implants healed uneventfully with healing abutments. Peri-implant marginal bone was stable, with a mean follow-up of 49.4 months (range: 33 to 71 months). No complications were observed during follow-up.
Conclusion: According to the limited data collected in this study, the novel crestal sinus lift approach could effectively lift the sinus floor and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. Additional cases with long-term follow-up are needed to confirm and improve this crestal sinus lift technique.

Clinical Outcomes of Bone-Level and Tissue-Level Short Implants Placed in Posterior Maxilla: A Case-Control Study.
Clin Implant Dent Relat Res

Department of Medical, Surgical and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy.
Introduction: Short implants are today a reliable, minimally invasive option for the rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla. However, maintaining marginal bone stability remains a crucial factor for long-term success, particularly in the case of short implants. The present multicenter prospective case-control study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of bone-level and tissue-level short implants in the posterior maxilla, focusing on implant survival and peri-implant marginal bone stability over 1 year of function.

Purpose: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the survival rates and risk factors associated with Resorbable Blast Media (RBM) surface dental implants. The study involved 1,130 implants placed in 260 patients, with a follow-up ranging from a minimum of 26 months to a maximum of 120 months, for an average of 60 months.
Materials And Methods: 1,130 RBM surface implants with hybrid macro-geometry were placed in 260 patients.

Article Synopsis
- * The procedure involves lifting the buccal fat pad and sinus mucosa under general anesthesia, then filling the resulting gap with a biomaterial that supports osseointegration.
- * With sufficient surgical experience, this method is considered a reliable solution for successful dental implant placement in the maxillary posterior area.

Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate alveolar height at the antral floor following dental implant placement after an indirect sinus lift using osseodensification (OD) with the HaeNaem bur system. Materials and methods A total of 12 patients seeking implant rehabilitation in the maxillary posterior region were selected for the study. Preoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) was performed to measure the residual crestal bone height (RCBH).

The most challenging aspects of planning implant rehabilitation for the posterior maxillary region are the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and the resorption of the residual alveolar ridge. To address the first aspect, there are two primary modalities for sinus augmentation: the direct or lateral window technique and the indirect or crestal technique. Clinicians must possess comprehensive knowledge of the maxillary sinus anatomy and be able to diagnose pathognomonic abnormalities through presurgical imaging and investigations.
