Minimal invasive sinus elevation (MISE), a different approach for maxillary sinus lift surgery

Aim: The maxillary sinus lift is a crucial surgical procedure performed to increase the vertical height of the remaining bone, often required before implant placement. Several techniques are used to approach the maxillary sinus, with varying results. Among them, it is possible to mention the minimal invasive sinus elevation (MISE) technique. Methods: This paper provides a comprehensive review of the MISE technique, its materials, and surgical methods. It analyzes the outcomes compared to conventional methods and discusses its applicability in different clinical scenarios. Results: The MISE technique has proven effective in increasing bone height with a lower risk of membrane perforation compared to traditional methods. It offers high implant success rates and minimal post-operative complications, with strong patient outcomes regarding bone regeneration and implant stability. This section will analyze these results with both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Conclusions: The MISE technique notably improves sinus lift procedures, providing a minimally invasive method with reliable clinical results. Its predictability and lower risk of membrane perforation make it well-suited for implant surgeries involving sinus elevation. Future studies should explore long-term results and refine the technique for broader clinical use.
