Sinus Reformation for Management of Maxillary Posterior Bone Atrophy
The results indicate that sinus augmentation with immediate implant placement without bone graft is a viable and safe therapeutic alternative for patients with a minimum residual bone height of 4 mm, demonstrating equivalent implant survival to the graft technique but with a significantly improved safety profile, resulting in reduced morbidity, greater patient satisfaction, and substantial cost savings associated with the procedure.
