About this study

This study involves a randomized clinical trial of 20 participants with less than 6 mm bone height in the posterior maxilla in need of Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation using the lateral window approach. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups; the HPLT Group which include 10 patients who will undergo hydraulic pressure for osteotomy preparation for lateral sinus lifting technique, and the PSLT Group which include 10 patients managed using piezoelectric surgery. Clinical and radiographic assessment of bone augmentation, as well as intraoperative biological complications and postoperative complications were recorded.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • The study included patient with deficient posterior maxilla with less than 6mm of bone height confirmed by a pre-operative tomographic scan. All healthy (ASA I, II) non- smoker patients were eligible for the study. The absence of uncontrolled diabetes, systemic illnesses, sinusitis, immune deficiency disorders, were also required for inclusion.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with sinus infection, neoplasm or a large cyst of the sinus, or those who previously underwent a Caldwell-Luc surgery for the same surgical site were excluded

Primary outcomes

  1. radiographic appraisal of gain in alveolar bone height

    Time frame: 6 months

    Postoperative radiographic appraisal was conducted by an immediate postoperative CBCT, followed by other one after 6 postoperative month's. Measurements of the bone height was conducted from the alveolar crest to the floor of the maxillary sinus on a cross-section view of the CBCT (Carestream Health, Rochester, NY). Radiographic assessment of the amount of bone height gain in 6 months period was performed by comparing the bone height measurements between the 6 postoperative months' CBCT with the preoperative scan.

Secondary outcomes

  1. incidence of membrane perforation

    Time frame: Until the end of the operation

    incidence of membrane perforation during the operation was assessed in both groups
