Impact of small antral pseudocyst interventions on bone remodeling during sinus floor elevation: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study aims to assess the effects of different treatments on postoperative hard tissue surrounding implants. This will be achieved through a retrospective analysis of patients with small antral pseudocysts (APs) measuring 20 mm or less, who received various management strategies for APs during lateral maxillary sinus floor elevation (LSFE).

Methods

This retrospective study examined 107 patients who underwent LSFE with concurrent implant placement, categorized into removal, aspiration, and untreated groups. The three-dimensional volumetric change rate of the bone graft within the maxillary sinus, the endo-sinus bone gain (ESBG), apical bone height (ABH), and peri-implant bone height (PBH) were assessed to quantify bone volume change. The marginal bone loss (MBL)
