Long-term effectiveness of maxillary sinus floor augmentation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Journal of Clinical Periodontology Jan 15, 2019
Raghoebar GM, et al. - In this prospective study, researchers assessed data from MEDLINE (1950–May 2018), EMBASE (1966–May 2018), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (1800–May 2018) to estimate the long-term efficacy of maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) procedures applying the lateral window technique and also to ascertain the possible variations in consequences between simultaneous and delayed implant placement, partially and fully edentulous cases, and grafting procedures. Of the 2,873 studies identified, only 11 met inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis. They observed no significant differences in implant loss among any of the groups ie, edentulous and dentate cases, implants placed simultaneously with or delayed after MSFA, implants placed in MSFA using solely autologous bone or bone substitutes. Overall, the rate of complications was low, indicating MSFA as a safe procedure in the partially and fully edentulous maxilla for support of dental implants.
