A Study of Subantral Height Changes in Sinus Membrane Elevation with Simultaneous Implants Insertion without Bone Grafts


Abstract in English

This study aimed to study changes in subantral bony height when sinus membrane was elevated 6 mm without bone grafts depending on Cone Beam CT imaging. The study sample contained 18 implants placed on 11 patients of both genders, each patient underwent lateral-approach sinus-lift without bone grafts and implants were inserted simultaneously and protruded 6 mm under the elevated sinus membrane.
