This clinical report describes a combined lateral-crestal approach to elevate the sinus floor when placing implants on a wide maxillary posterior ridge. The buccally enlarged osteotomy broadens vision of practitioners and facilitates access of instruments in the sinus. Compared to the traditional lateral approach of sinus lift, the proposed technique may offer a more conservative treatment modality. And a clinical study with sufficient subjects and long term follow up is needed to validate the potential and limitations of the proposed technique.

Maxillary sinus floor elevation via a lateral approach is a predictable technique to increase bone volume of the edentulous posterior maxilla and consequently for dental implants placement. The sinus floor is elevated and it can be augmented with either autologous or xenogeneic bone grafts following an opening bone window created on the facial buccal wall. Maxillary septa are walls of cortical bone within the maxillary sinus. The septa shape has been described as an inverted gothic arch arising from the inferior or lateral walls of the sinus and may even divide the sinus into two or more cavities. Some authors have reported a higher prevalence of septa in atrophic edentulous areas than in nonatrophic ones. Radiographic identification of these structures is important in order to perform the right design of the lateral window during sinus lift. Aim of this investigation is to highlight the correct steps for doing sinus lift surgery in presence of those anatomic variations. Clinicians should always perform clinical and radiographic diagnosis in order to avoid complications related to the sinus lift surgery.

The aims of this study were to propose a minimally invasive lateral approach technique for maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE) with simultaneous implant placement and to evaluate the surgical outcome and complications of this technique. This study reviewed 49 surgeries of MSFE with simultaneous implant placement (n = 83) using a minimally invasive lateral approach. A circular shape window with a diameter of 5 to 6 mm and an area of 20–30 mm2 was made on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. After elevation of the Schneiderian membrane, the xenograft was used for bone grafting. The MSFE was possible with a minimum-sized window in 47 of 49 cases. For the remaining 2 cases, MSFE with a minimum-sized window was failed. In one case, it was expanded to be more than 30 mm2 to repair the membrane perforation. In another case, MSFE was performed by forming two minimum-sized windows. Post-operative bleeding after MSFE occurred in one anticoagulant-treated patient. There was no failed implant during the follow-up period (mean 22 months). A minimally invasive lateral approach through a small circular window with a diameter of 5 to 6 mm is a feasible and safe technique for MSFE with simultaneous implant placement.

This case report discusses osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) and immediate placement in 2 stages in severely resorbed alveolar bone height in which multiple implant placement is not otherwise feasible due to a lack of initial stability. The first implant placed using OSFE without bone grafting prepares the adjacent resorbed sites for further implant placement in the sinus areas, which allows for better initial stability and early functional loading. This process avoids the conventional extensive lateral approach for sinus lifting and bone grafting procedures even in extremely resorbed alveolar bone.
