Implant placement with sinus floor elevation through lateral window approach without graft material: report of a case and literature review

The factors that can affect the success of the implant treatment are the available bone quantity, bone quality, primary stability, implant surface treatment and so on. Among them, bone quantity is one of the most important factors especially concerning the area of posterior maxilla. Edentulous posterior maxilla has usually reduced bone height that make the clinicians to try get more bone through various augmentation technique. Sinus lift is one of them. Lateral approach sinus lift has been traditionally performed with graft materials such as autogenous bone, allogenic bone, xenogenic bone and alloplast. However, sinus lift without graft material has recently begun to attract attention from many clinicians. A case report and literature review of sinus lift through lateral approach without graft materials and simultaneous implant placement will be presented in this article.
