TLDR
The antral membrane balloon elevation technique, which is introduced in this preliminary report, is a modification of the currently used sinus lift that elevates the membrane easily and makes the antral floor accessible for augmentation with grafting materials.Abstract:
Many edentulous posterior maxilla are found to be encumbered by alveolar resorption and increased pneumatization of the sinus. These factors limit the quantity and quality of bone necessary for successful implant placement in these areas. One solution is to use shorter implants, but this often results in an unfavorable crown-root ratio. To create an improved environment in such regions, the classic sinus floor elevation with bone augmentation is a well-accepted technique. However, when the edentulous area is limited to a zone between 1 and 2 teeth, lifting the membrane becomes difficult and may subject it to iatrogenic injury. The antral membrane balloon elevation technique, which is introduced in this preliminary report, is a modification of the currently used sinus lift. It elevates the membrane easily and makes the antral floor accessible for augmentation with grafting materials.read more

Mechanical properties of the Schneiderian membrane in vitro.
TL;DR: Respecting the mechanical properties of the Schneiderian membrane may help reducing the complication rates and thus patient morbidity in minimally invasive maxillary sinus floor elevation.

Management of the Posterior Maxilla With Sinus Lift: Review of Techniques
TL;DR: This article reviews techniques of sinus lift and presents advantages, disadvantages and success rates where available and suggests selection of technique should be done cautiously based on long-term results.

Long-term results after lateral and osteotome technique sinus floor elevation: a retrospective analysis of 2190 implants over a time period of 15 years.
TL;DR: The evaluation with respect to the augmentation material used did not reveal significant differences in the implant survival rate and in both cases remodelling processes could be observed in the augmented area.

A 6-month histological analysis on maxillary sinus augmentation with and without use of collagen membranes over the osteotomy window: Randomized clinical trial
TL;DR: The results showed that, compared with sites not covered, the use of the membrane did not substantially increase the amount of vital bone over a period of 6 months and seems to reduce the proliferation of the connective tissue and the graft re-absorption rate.

Fixed Rehabilitation of the Edentulous Maxilla: Possibilities and Clinical Outcome
TL;DR: The aim of the present report was to describe the different treatment approaches available for fixed rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla in the presence of varying hard and soft tissue conditions and to review the clinical outcome of each treatment approach.

A new concept in maxillary implant surgery: the osteotome technique.
TL;DR: The author concludes that the osteotome technique is superior to drilling for many applications in soft maxillary bone and allows more implants to be inserted in a greater variety of sites during a routine office procedure.

Sinus lift grafts and endosseous implants. Treatment of the atrophic posterior maxilla.
TL;DR: Results of biopsy, histometry, backscattered electron microscopy, cell labeling, and special stain suggest consistent bone growth into a variety of graft materials, and anecdotal evidence suggests that sinus grafts of autogenous bone heal for 4 to 6 months; freeze-dried demineralized bone heals for 12 to 16 months; and alloplastic materials with freeze-Dried demIneralizedBone heal for 9 to 11 months.

Maxillary sinus: anatomy, physiology, surgery, and bone grafting related to implantology--eleven years of surgical experience (1979-1990).
TL;DR: The basic scientific and clinical knowledge required for this important surgery is outlined and the grave dangers that lie behind complications that may result from the inadequate practice of surgery by untrained operators are stressed.
The osteotome technique: Part 3--Less invasive methods of elevating the sinus floor.
TL;DR: The author concludes that the OSFE and the bone-added OSFE techniques are suitable means of altering the floor of the sinus so that in many patients, longer implants can be inserted in a less invasive manner.
