Predictors For Transosseous Maxillary Sinus Lift Complications: A Prospective Cohort Study
This prospective cohort study aims to identify clinical and anatomical predictors for complications following transosseous maxillary sinus lift procedures using the Versah (Densah burs) technique. The study focuses on patients undergoing transcrestal sinus floor elevation without a lateral window, with or without simultaneous dental implant placement. Variables such as residual bone height, sinus membrane thickness, bone density, and patient-related factors are being evaluated. The objective is to enhance risk stratification and optimize treatment planning for transosseous sinus augmentation.
• 1- Patients requiring dental implants in the posterior maxilla with a residual bone height of \< 6 mm.
• 2- Good general health and absence of systemic conditions affecting bone healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis).
• 3- No history of chronic sinusitis or other significant sinus pathologies
