Brief Summary
The success rate of dental implants after graftless sinus augmentation versus conventional sinus augmentation surgery in atrophic maxillae in edentulous patients was investigated and it was concluded that despite the bone gain in ten garftless side, implant survival were significantly lower in the non-grafted side. One year later, Lie et al., conducted a systematic review to evaluate efficacy of graftless maxillary sinus membrane elevation using the lateral window approach for implantation in the atrophic maxilla. It showed a high implant survival rate in non-grafted maxillary sinus lifts and conventional sinus lifts using augmentation materials and there was no significant difference in the ISQ values between both procedures. However, further randomized clinical trials with long-term follow-up were recommended.

Study Arms (2)
Open sinus lifting without bone grafting and simultaneous implant placement
EXPERIMENTALWhen adequate release of the membrane is achieved and deemed enough by the operator, an osteotomy is created in the edentulous area following the drilling sequence provided by the implant system used. the implant placement is done directly with the implant motor and the use of a hand driver if needed to adjust the implant platform relation to the crestal bone, followed by cover screw placement.
Open sinus lifting with bone grafting and simultaneous implant placement
ACTIVE COMPARATORWhen adequate release of the membrane is achieved and deemed enough by the operator, an osteotomy is created in the edentulous area following the drilling sequence provided by the implant system used. the palatal packing of bone is made before the implant placement, as the palatal aspect of the sinus will be inaccessible after placement of the implant, the implant placement is done directly with the implant motor and the use of a hand driver if needed to adjust the implant platform relation to the crestal bone, followed by cover screw placement.
Interventions
no bone graft will be used after open sinus lifting
bone graft will be packed palatally after open sinus elevation and before implant placement, then implant placement will took place followed by packing of bone grafts
