Crestal Sinus Lift With Osseodensification in Severely Atrophic Maxilla: Case Series With Long-Term Follow-up

1

Osseodensification enhances bone density and facilitates transcrestal maxillary sinus augmentation for implant placement.
2

The technique utilizes specially designed burs to compact bone and propel particles, generating a hydrodynamic wave for sinus membrane elevation.
3

Crestal sinus lift with osseodensification is less invasive, resulting in shorter surgery times, reduced pain, and lower postoperative complications.
4

Protocols for sinus elevation using osseodensification vary based on residual bone height, with specific RBH requirements for different approaches.
5

Long-term studies indicate osseodensification is a safe and effective method for sinus elevation in patients with limited residual bone height.
