DEVELOPING EVIDENCE-BASED PROTOCOL FOR EFFICACY OF OSTEOTOME, CAS KIT AND OSSEODENSIFICATION TECHNIQUES OF CRESTAL SINUS LIFTING WITH IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT IN ATROPHIC POSTERIOR MAXILLA (RBH 3 TO 5 MM)- Randomized Controlled Trial
ABSTRACT
Background:
Implant placement in the posterior maxilla is often complicated by reduced residual bone height, poor bone quality, and sinus pneumatization following tooth loss. To address these challenges, maxillary sinus floor elevation (SFE) is widely used to augment bone volume and facilitate successful implant placement. More than half of implants in the posterior maxilla require this procedure, with the choice of technique largely dependent on the available bone height. The lateral sinus lift is recommended for cases with less than 4–5 mm of residual bone height, while the transalveolar approach is preferred for heights exceeding 5 mm due to its minimally invasive nature. Advancements such as osseodensification and the Crestal Approach to the Sinus (CAS) kit have further enhanced outcomes by preserving bone, improving implant stability, and reducing complications like sinus membrane perforation. This study explores evidence-based protocols for SFE and immediate implant placement in the atrophic posterior maxilla.
Objective:
To develop evidence based protocol for efficacy of Osteotome,CAS kit and osseodensification techniques of crestal sinus lifting with immediate implant placement in atrophic posterior maxilla (RBH 3 to 5 mm)”
Methods:
A Prospective randomized study will be conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Sharad Pawar Dental College, Wardha (M). The detailed synopsis of the study would be subjected to approval from institutional ethical committee Sharad Pawar Dental College and initiated after its approval.The Fisher exact test will be used for statistical analysis, and the level of significance will be set at P< 0.05.
Results:
Efficacy of Osteotome,CAS kit and osseodensification techniques of crestal sinus lifting with immediate implant placement in atrophic posterior maxilla (RBH 3 to 5 mm)”
Conclusions:
This study explores evidence-based protocols for SFE and immediate implant placement in the atrophic posterior maxilla. Clinical Trial: in processs
