The survival rate of transcrestal sinus floor elevation combined with short implants: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, insufficient bone volume always occurs in the posterior maxilla which makes implantation difficult. Short implants combined with transcrestal sinus floor elevation (TSFE) may be an option to address insufficient bone volume.

Purpose

The clinical performance of short implants combined with TSFE was compared with that of conventional implants combined with TSFE according to the survival rate.

Method

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we followed the Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. Articles were identified through PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and manual searching. Eligibility criteria included clinical human studies. The quality assessment was performed according to the Strengthening the
