The Clinical Effectiveness Comparison Between Modified Crestal Approach and Lateral Window Sinus Floor Elevation: A Prospective Study
The bone augmentation outcomes of the two surgical techniques were essentially comparable. However, the modified crestal approach demonstrated advantages over the lateral window technique in terms of minimal trauma, improved patient behavioural cognition, and reduced postoperative pain. These findings suggest that optimising minimally invasive sinus lift techniques may enhance clinical applications, particularly with patient-centred considerations.
