Research

Purpose:

To review the literature associated with new bone formation in the maxillary sinus elevation using peripheral venous blood alone.

Materials and Methods:

A review of the literature was performed to record the study reference, design study, sinus lift method, number of patients, number of implants, follow up, bone gain and Perforation of sinus. A PubMed search was made from 2007 to 2017 with keywords: “sinus lift”, “Peripheral Venous Blood”, “new bone” and “maxillary sinus elevation”.

Results:

11 articles were identified and reviewed. The Lateral Window method was followed in all the studied publications. The survival rate of implants was high in all cases. A new bone is formed in most cases.

Conclusion:

According to our review, the application of bone graft material may not be a requirement for maxillary sinus augmentation and new bone formation with peripheral venous blood as a filler material could be an alternative treatment modality for the implant treatment.

Name of journal in which the research was published:

International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences.
