Using Digital Implant Planning in Assessing Outcomes of Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Procedures: A Retrospective Study.

This study revealed that a limited number of maxillary sinus procedures resulted in ideal bone grafting in both the AC and BP dimensions when considering predetermined restorative guidelines for the final implant position. An excess and/or insufficient amount of bone grafting in at least one dimension resulted most of the times. With the use of technology and an interdisciplinary team of experts, future studies should aim to quantify the amount of bone graft needed for an ideal maxillary sinus elevation for upcoming implant placement.
