Clinical outcome and factors determining new bone formation in lateral sinus membrane elevation with simultaneous implant placement without grafting material: A cross‐sectional, 3‐17 year follow‐up study

Abstract

The implant-supported rehabilitation achieved using graft-less LSFE was stable over time, and there was no or little impact on sinus health. Furthermore, it was concluded that the new bone formation and the amount of bone gain is proportional to the length of the implant protruding into the sinus cavity.
