Abstract

Background:    Due to persistent ridge resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, the maxillary posterior region has historically been difficult to implant in. To overcome these challenges various techniques have been developed. Among which sinus lift procedures; either direct or indirect are most commonly used. This systematic review investigates the success of immediate implant placement combined with indirect sinus lift without grafting in the maxillary posterior region. Specifically, it evaluates the rates of implant survival and endosinus bone formation.

Aim: To review the literature on indirect sinus lift without graft placement and with immediate implant placement following the PRISMA Guidelines.

Methodology: A systematic search was conducted on two electronic databases, PubMed and Cochrane Central, for studies published between 2010–2020. The search terms included "sinus augmentation," "sinus lift," "sinus elevation," and "indirect technique." The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed for data collection.

Results: In the initial search, 1361 articles in total were located. A total of 20 papers were chosen for full text review after duplicates were removed and titles and abstracts were screened. In this systematic review, 8 articles were chosen; 12 publications were rejected for a variety of reasons.

Conclusion: The studies included in this review evaluated the efficacy of indirect sinus elevation without grafting material, combined with immediate implant placement, for augmenting bone volume in the maxillary posterior region. All studies reported evidence of endosseous bone formation, with implant survival rates ranging from 90% to 100%.
