Despite validated surgical techniques and the development of biomaterials, the procedures aimed at increasing the maxillary bone volume by sinus floor elevation have complications with various degrees of relevance. The perforation of the Schneiderian membrane is one of the most frequent events while performing the detachment of the membrane and it can increase the risk of iatrogenic sinusitis, impairment of functional homeostasis, dispersion of the graft material in the antral cavity as well as its bacterial colonization with a subsequential failure of the procedure. This report presents a case where transcrestal sinus lift was performed using Flusilift (Sweden & Martina, Due Carrare PD), a new instrument that allows fluid dynamic elevation of the sinus floor using saline solution to detach the Schneider’s membrane in an atraumatic way without using a sinus elevator and obtain an adequate alveolar ridge regeneration using hyaluronic acid in gel formulation to support an implant placement. Hyaluronic acid seems to play a key role in wound healing and contributes to a faster bone neoformation in bone regeneration procedures.

A dental implant is the most accepted treatment option to replace the badly decayed tooth or missing tooth. The jumping gap left after the placement of the implant in the socket will require augmentation of bone graft material. In this case report, the extracted root stumps are used as an autogenous tooth graft material after its preparation. And PRF is mixed with graft material for additive advantage. So, the present case report discusses the feasibility of the use of autogenous tooth graft material along with PRF for the better osseointegration of the implant.
