Summary

The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) of split-mouth design was to compare patient preference and effectiveness of two different techniques for lifting the maxillary sinus: the crestal approach versus the lateral window approach.

Detailed description

Each patient having bilateral edentulism in posterior maxillae was randomised to receive one partial fixed prosthesis supported by one to three implants placed either with a crestal or with lateral window sinus lift procedure. Eligibility criteria for participants Only healed implant sites were considered (at least 3 months after tooth extraction). The vertical bone height at the implant sites to be included had to be between 2 to 6 mm and bone thickness at least 6 mm as measured on cone-bean computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Patients were not admitted in the study if any of the following exclusion criteria was present: general contraindications to implant surgery subjected to irradiation in the head and neck area immunosuppressed or immunocompromised treated or under treatment with intravenous amino-bisphosphonates poor oral hygiene and motivation untreated periodontal disease uncontrolled diabetes pregnant or lactating substance abusers psychiatric problems unrealistic expectations lack of opposite occluding dentition/prosthesis in the area intended for implant placement acute or chronic infection/inflammation in the area intended for sinus augmentation/implant placement referred only for implant placement who cannot be rehabilitated and followed at the treatment centre unable to attend a 5-year post-loading follow-up. Smokers were included and patients were categorised into three groups according to what declare: i) non-smokers; ìì) moderate smokers, if smoking up to 10 cigarettes/day; iii) heavy smokers if smoking more than 10 cigarettes/day. Patients were recruited and treated in one private practice in Tirana, Albania by two operators: Marco Tallarico who performed all surgical interventions and Erta Xhanari who performed all prosthetic and maintenance procedures.
