Background: Graftless sinus floor augmentation shows good results in bone gain, radiology and implant survival. Clinically, this technique can be recommended as an alternative to conventional procedures using augmentation materials.
Objectives: This study aims to assess masticatory performance, masticatory ability and patient satisfaction after graftless sinus floor augmentation.
Methods: The study group consisted of patients who had received a graftless sinus lift procedure in a split-mouth design and was compared to patients with maxillary implant-supported overdentures without augmentation and a natural dentition group. To assess objective masticatory performance, the mixing ability test was performed. Three questionnaires were used to assess patient reported outcomes related to mastication and patient satisfaction.
Results: Each group included ten patients. Both the graftless sinus lift group and the edentulous control group had a worse masticatory performance compared to the natural dentition group. Masticatory ability, measured by patient reported outcomes, was not different between the graftless sinus floor augmentation group and implant-retained overdentures group without augmentation, but the natural dentition group showed better results. Thereby, the better the masticatory performance in patients with a graftless sinus membrane elevation the better the patient satisfaction for 'prosthesis', 'appearance of prostheses', 'speech' and 'mastication and eating'.
Conclusions: Patients with implant-supported overdentures show inferior masticatory function compared to those with natural dentition. There were no significant differences in masticatory performance between patients with implant-retained overdentures, with or without graftless augmentation. The decision on the preferred procedure should consider additional factors such as anatomical, surgical-technical aspects and patient's preferences.

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).

A maxillary sinus lift was performed without bone grafting in a 23-year-old female patient who required the placement of a dental implant in the edentulous area of tooth 16. The clinical and tomographic evaluation made it possible to plan and perform the maxillary sinus lift using the transcrestal approach and without the need for bone grafting. The residual ridge of 6mm allowed the placement of a simultaneous dental implant.

Statement Of Problem: Type 3 oligodontia is the most dentoalveolar deficient manifestation of congenital tooth absence. There is a need to rehabilitate these children functionally and esthetically to improve quality of life.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the short- and intermediate-term outcomes of the dental treatment provided in a children's hospital and to develop a sequential interdisciplinary treatment planning protocol from infancy to the completion of jaw development.

Introduction: Different protocols and procedures for sinus lift and implant placement are available, generally involving the use of grafts to increase the tissue volume and/or prevent the Schneiderian membrane from collapsing. Among xenografts, deproteinised bovine bone graft (DBBP) is frequently used in sinus lift procedures. Leaving an ungrafted space following membrane elevation has proven to have a bony regenerative potential as well.

Graftless motor-driven crestal sinus elevation may be a preferable alternative to conventional methods due to the reduction of postsurgical complications and lower cost. This prospective cohort study evaluated the stability of implants installed using this technique. Twenty-nine Straumann BLT (bone level tapered) implants in 29 patients were included in the sample.
