TLDR
The HUCSL technique yielded the lowest increase of rupture length compared with BASL and Summers lift and therefore shows the lowest risk of a growing rupture of the sinus membrane in case of an iatrogenic puncture during preparation of the transcrestal approach.Abstract:
Objectives To evaluate the rupture length of the sinus membrane after applying a defined 1.2 mm defect comparing 3 different techniques: Summers lift, balloon-assisted technique (BASL), and hydrodynamic ultrasonic cavitational sinus lift (HUCSL). Study design Thirty fresh sheep heads (60 maxillary sinuses) were investigated. The sinus membrane was ruptured using a 1.2 mm pilot drill. Then Summers lift, BASL, and HUCSL were each performed on 20 sinuses, creating a 5 mm vertical lift of the sinus membrane. The length of the ruptured sinus membrane was measured before and after the experiment. The results of the different sinus lift techniques were compared using t tests. Results The t test showed that the Summers lift leads to a significantly higher rupture length (P = .05) than BASL. The comparison between Summers lift and HUCSL showed a significantly higher rupture length with the Summers lift (P Conclusions The HUCSL technique yielded the lowest increase of rupture length compared with BASL and Summers lift. The technique therefore shows the lowest risk of a growing rupture of the sinus membrane in case of an iatrogenic puncture during preparation of the transcrestal approach.read more

Comparison of 2 crestal sinus floor lift techniques performed on human cadavers.
TL;DR: The Intralift technique is an interesting alternative to the Summers technique for sinus membrane preservation and there was a correlation between the operator dexterity and the time required for surgery.

Goat Model for Direct Visualizing the Effectiveness of Detaching Sinus Mucosa in Real Time During Crestal Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation
TL;DR: An ex vivo goat sinus model developed by cutting the goat residual skulls along four lines determined from computerized tomography (CT) scans, extracting the maxillary premolar or molar teeth, and preparing implant socket in the maxilla is suggested to be useful in the evaluation of improved or newly designed sinus lift tools for elevating themaxillary sinus mucosa via the crestal approach.

Is balloon-assisted maxillary sinus floor augmentation before dental implant safe and promising? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Results suggest that balloon-assisted augmentation is associated with low rates of membrane tears, and high follow-up bone gain levels, and seems to be safe.

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.

TL;DR: Support is provided for a role of systemic bone loss in the development of tooth loss among postmenopausal women by contributing to the resorption of toothsupporting alveolar bone.

TL;DR: A marked increase in the prevalence of root resorption and alveolar bone loss occurred over the course of treatment and may be higher for incisors than in previously reported adolescent studies.

TL;DR: The experience suggests that hydraulic sinus condensing is a predictable and minimally invasive alternative for prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary anterior and posterior regions in the presence of anatomical restrictions to implant placement.
