Implant placement with sinus floor elevation via the lateral approach using only absorbable collagen sponge: 12-month post-loading radiographical outcomes and implant survival rate

ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, the placement of dental implants in conjunction with GLSLA using only a collagen sponge to fill the sinus compartment seems to be feasible and accompanied by a high implant survival rate. Further studies on a large population and with a longer follow-up are warranted to drawn definitive conclusions.
