Minimally Invasive Sinus Augmentation: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Technology improvement and a better understanding of sinus anatomy and wound healing in the past decade have allowed the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques. This systematic review focused on identifying and describing these techniques for vertical and lateral sinus augmentation (VSA and LSA).

Materials and methods

Electronic and hand search were conducted to screen the literature published from January 2003 to May 2024. The selected studies had to include detailed techniques for minimally invasive SA. Data extraction included the study types, sample size, technique/instrument details, and outcome measurements.

Results

A total of 36 articles (27 VSA, 8 LSA with an additional 1 article included both procedures) with 2732 sinus augmentation met the
