An indirect sinus floor elevation by using piezoelectric surgery with platelet-rich fibrin for sinus augmentation: A short surgical practice

Osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation using only platelet-rich fibrin: an early report on 110 patients.

PURPOSE This article describes a technique and reports on the early healing for localized sinus augmentation using a crestal approach in combination with an autologous leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) concentrate. MATERIALS From November 2008 to January 2010, 138 implants were placed in 110 patients using osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation (OMSFE) with PRF. RESULTS The mean r...

Maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery

Although augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor with autogenous bone grafts has become a well established preimplantology procedure, its effect on the function of the maxillary sinus has not been the subject of prospective human studies. In this prospective study the effects of sinus floor augmentation on maxillary sinus performance were evaluated. Seventeen consecutive patients who were to ...

Sinus Augmentation by Platelet-Rich Fibrin Alone: A Report of Two Cases with Histological Examinations

In sinus floor augmentation of an atrophic posterior maxilla, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been used as a graft material. We herein report two cases with histological evaluations of PRF after the surgery. The first case was a 28-year-old female with an atrophic right posterior maxilla who was treated with sinus floor augmentation and simultaneous implant placement using PRF as the sole graft ...

Platelet-rich plasma activity on maxillary sinus floor augmentation by autologous bone.

OBJECTIVES This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site of peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen consenting patients (11 females and five males), with symmetrical maxillary sinus atrophy, underwent bilateral sinus floor augmentation, using autologous (iliac crest) bone on one side and PRP pl...
