TL;DR

Data is systematizes the impact of the volume of surgical access during open sinus lift on complications and substantiates the use of microscope-assisted surgeries in combination with 3D planning and piezosurgery to improve the safety of minimally invasive interventions.

Abstract

Lateral augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor is a common procedure for bone tissue deficiency in the lateral regions of the upper jaw. Despite the high effectiveness of the intervention, clinically significant complications, primarily Schneider's membrane perforation, bleeding, damage to nerve structures in the skeletonization area, as well as pronounced side effects of the operation, remain relevant. The review systematizes data on the impact of the volume of surgical access during open sinus lift on complications and substantiates the use of microscope-assisted surgeries in combination with 3D planning and piezosurgery. These methods are considered to be key elements in reducing surgical trauma and represent the most logical way to improve the safety of minimally invasive interventions.

Minimally Invasive Strip Craniectomy-Extended (MIS-E): A Technical Modification for Treatment of Sagittal Craniosynostosis.

MIS-E appears to be an effective procedure to rapidly correct sagittal craniosynostosis, and improved standardization of intraoperative transfusion protocols is needed to better determine the need for transfusions in patients treated with this technique.

Anatomical Prerequisites for the Placement of Transnasal Implants: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study of 200 Consecutive Patients: A cross-sectional Study

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation of patients with severe atrophy of the anterior maxilla is a complex clinical task. Transnasal implants are considered an alternative to the anterior pair of zygomatic implants using the quad-zygoma protocol, allowing a reduction in the risk of complications and avoiding extensive b...

Sinus membrane perforation and oroantral communications in lateral sinus lift: a narrative review and proposal of a clinical decision tree.

INTRODUCTION Sinus membrane perforation is the most frequent intraoperative complication of lateral window sinus floor elevation, with reported incidences ranging from 7 % to 56 %. Pre-existing oroantral communications (OACs) represent a frequently associated clinical situation encountered during implant rehabilitation...

Is technical difficulty associated with the accuracy of patient-specific implants for maxillary repositioning in minimally invasive orthognathic surgery?

The use of patient-specific implants (PSIs) in minimally invasive orthognathic surgery remains limited due to concerns about technical difficulty and restricted intraoperative exposure. Whether increasing maxillary movement technical difficulty compromises the accuracy of PSI-assisted minimally invasive surgery remains...

BONE AUGMENTATION IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY; COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF LATERAL WINDOW VERSUS CRESTAL APPROACH FOR MAXILLARY SINUS FLOOR AUGMENTATION — A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Insufficient bone volume in the posterior maxilla remains one of the principal challenges in implant dentistry. Progressive alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization frequently compromise implant placement, necessitating sinus floor augmentation procedures. The lateral window and crestal (transcrestal...
