One-Stage Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation Using Different Grafts: A Systematic Review of Controlled Clinical Trials

CONCLUSION: All the assessed grafts are viable options for the intervention addressed. The use of some material is justified to maintain the sinus volume and allow bone formation in the apical site of implants under the sinus membrane. Longer chair time and the morbidity of the donor site should be considered when choosing autogenous bone. Synthetic biphasic materials can be selected for this intervention due to superior values of %BIC when compared to DBB.PMID:38607362 | DOI:10.11607/jomi.10600
