Clinical Performance of Different Bone Substitutes in Direct and Indirect Sinus Lift Procedures for Implant Placement: A Review

Abstract

Lack of appropriate bone height along the maxillary sinus presents major difficulties when implants are positioned in the edentulous maxillary jaw. Bone augmentation methods have been suggested for re-creating sufficient bone height and volume necessary for dental implant sites. The purpose of this review was to determine the clinical performance of implant placement by using different bone substitutes.
