Sinus Augmentation Using Lateral Approach and Sticky Bone – An Emigma in The Field of Dentistry: A Case Report

Abstract

In sinus floor augmentation of an atrophic posterior maxilla, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been used and cerabone along with platelet rich fibrin which forms a sticky bone as a graft material.

Aim- The aim of this study was to achieve adequate bone height for implant placement.

Background- We herein discuss the sinus augmentation done in a 32- year old female patient with an atrophic maxilla on both the side of the quadrant. This case report also includes the comparision of piezo-surgery and LAS-kit for lateral approach sinus augmentation. The follow up period was 6 months post surgery .

Conclusion -As a result, new bone formation was confirmed histologically in both cases. Our findings show that the use of PRF as a graft material during sinus floor augmentation induces natural bone regeneration.
