The effect of residual bone height and membrane thickness on sinus membrane perforation in crestal sinus grafting: A prospective clinical study

This study sought to determine the rate of sinus membrane perforation in patients undergoing crestal sinus grafting, as well as the effect of Schneiderian membrane thickness and residual bone height (RBH) on membrane perforation, using cone beam computed tomography. The study included 25 patients undergoing 44 crestal sinus grafting procedures. The sites for crestal sinus grafting were divided into a control group (RBH ≥5mm) and a test group (RBH
