“…At the last control visit, average MBL for implants placed in patients that were no smokers was 0.97 ± 0.40 mm, while that of light smokers was 0.94 ± 0.39 mm, the difference being not significant ( P = .47). As an aside, the 23 patients treated with the Low Window approach showed a 97.9% success rate, which was not significantly different from those of the other patients.…”

“…The surgical area was anesthetized using articaine hydrochloride 40 mg/ml with epinephrine 1:100 000. Sinus augmentation was performed according to the technique described by Boyne and James and—in a subset of patients—according to the “Low Window” approach described by Zaniol . Full‐thickness flaps were elevated and an access window was created on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, using a round diamond bur or a piezoelectric insert under irrigation with sterile saline.…”

“…Sinus augmentation was performed according to the technique described by Boyne and James [28][29][30] and-in a subset of patients-according to the "Low Window" approach described by Zaniol. 31 Full-thickness flaps were elevated and an access window was created on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, using a round diamond bur or a piezoelectric insert under irrigation with sterile saline. The sinus membrane was carefully elevated and the window wall gently pushed inside the cavity, allowing access into it.…”

Background The intraosseous artery is a branch of the posterior superior alveolar artery that supplies the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. The present study seeks to analyze the location of the intraosseous artery and its site of termination. Methods Cone beam computed tomography was used to evaluate 200 patients making up 400 maxillary sinuses. The following criteria were measured: (1) the distance of the lower border of the intraosseous artery to the floor of the sinus, (2) the average length of the artery, (3) the diameter of the artery, (4) the site at which the artery terminates at, and (5) the distance of the artery from the first premolar, second premolar, first molar, second molar, and third molar. Results The intraosseous artery was identified in 336 (84.0%) quadrants. The most common site of termination was at the mesial of the second molar (22%), regardless of dental status and right or left quadrant. Its overall mean diameter was 0.91 ± 0.56 mm, with no difference within the dental status. Its overall mean length was 7.40 ± 3.39 mm, with a statistically significant difference between dentate and edentulous quadrants (P < 0.001). Its overall mean distance from the floor was 6.95 ± 6.49 mm, with no difference within the dental status. All parameters showed no difference between right or left quadrants. Conclusions The chances of encountering the intraosseous artery at the premolar area is <21% during a lateral window sinus floor elevation. The most common (22%) site of termination of the intraosseous artery is at the mesial of the second molar. Understanding of the course, location, and termination of the artery enhances the precision of a clinician when it comes to pre‐operative treatment planning.

“…The location and design of the lateral bone window determine the mucoperiosteal flap design (8). The window shape, width, height, and distance from the alveolar crest impact the direction that the instruments must undertake to successfully elevate the membrane from the sinus floor (9). Accordingly, this affects the probability of membrane perforation, one of the most common sinus augmentation complications.…”

INTRODUCTION:The introduction of computer guided surgery in implant dentistry has marked a new era allowing various procedures to be performed with a great level of precision and accuracy. Recently, a novel design of the lateral window osteotomy, the "Low Window" sinus lift technique, was proposed to facilitate sinus augmentation and reduce postsurgical patient discomfort. AIM OF THE STUDY:The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the "Low Window" lateral sinus lifting technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The study group included 12 patients that were treated using the low window lateral sinus lift technique with simultaneous implant placement. This was facilitated using a Three dimensional (3D) printed surgical guide. Assessment on postoperative pain, edema, implant stability, vertical bone height gain, and complications such as Schneiderian membrane perforation. RESULTS: All patients experienced mild pain postoperatively with a significant decrease in pain from the 1st to 3rd day. Sinus membrane perforation occurred in 2 patients as well as mild postoperative bleeding on the first day. A statistically significant increase in vertical bone height (p<0.001) was observed as well as in implant stability, while marginal bone loss was within normal limits. CONCLUSION: The use of computer guided low window lateral sinus lift technique resulted in a satisfactory outcome in terms of postoperative pain, edema, bleeding, sinus perforation rates, implant stability, vertical bone height gained and marginal bone loss.
