Five Years Follow-up of Short Implants Placed in Atrophic Maxilla with Simultaneous Sinus Floor Transcrestal Elevation

Clinical efficacy of transcrestal sinus floor augmentation, in comparison with lateral approach, in sites with residual bone height ≤6 mm: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…Peri‐implant soft tissue health was assessed in seven study (An et al, 2019; Carelli et al, 2021; Farina, Simonelli, Franceschetti, Minenna, et al, 2022; Li et al, 2013; Nedir et al, 2017; Nizam et al, 2020; Shi et al, 2020), including probing depth ranging from 1.22 ± 0.72 mm (Carelli et al, 2021) to 2.94 ± 0.79 mm (Shi et al, 2020), 9.87% ± 19.17% of bleeding on probing sites (Carelli et al, 2021), plaque index ranging from 0.35 ± 0.64 (An et al, 2019) to 0.48 ± 0.51 (Shi et al, 2020), and gingival index of 0.65 ± 0.53 (Li et al, 2013) and 0.65 ± 0.81 (An et al, 2019), few suppuration on probing and mucosal recession (Farina, Simonelli, Franceschetti, Minenna, et al, 2022).…”

“…In addition, one included TSFA with or without bone graft simultaneously (Nedir et al, 2017). Six and eleven studies used the short implants (Carelli et al, 2021; Corsalini et al, 2020; Nedir et al, 2017; Nizam et al, 2020; Taschieri et al, 2018; Testori et al, 2019) and long implants (An et al, 2019; Andrés‐García et al, 2021; Kanayama et al, 2016; Li et al, 2013, 2018; Lombardi et al, 2022; Nedir et al, 2009; Shi et al, 2020; Toffler, 2002; Wang et al, 2021; Xue et al, 2022), respectively. In addition, one failed to report the implant length (Liu et al, 2019).…”

“…For Q2, in addition to previous studies already included in Q1, 18 studies were identified. Of these extra studies included in Q2, fourteen studies (An et al, 2019; Andrés‐García et al, 2021; Carelli et al, 2021; Corsalini et al, 2020; Kanayama et al, 2016; Li et al, 2013, 2018; Lombardi et al, 2022; Nedir et al, 2009; Shi et al, 2020; Testori et al, 2019; Toffler, 2002; Wang et al, 2021; Xue et al, 2022) were prospective single arm cohort. The TSFA arms of studies were included from two RCTs (Liu et al, 2019; Nedir et al, 2017) and two CCTs (Nizam et al, 2020; Taschieri et al, 2018).…”

“…For Q2, in addition to the studies included in Q1, 17 studies performed TSFA procedures using single technique, including hydraulic pressure techniques (An et al, 2019; Kanayama et al, 2016), expansion‐based techniques (Andrés‐García et al, 2021; Carelli et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2019; Nedir et al, 2009, 2017; Shi et al, 2020; Taschieri et al, 2018; Toffler, 2002; Wang et al, 2021), drill‐based techniques (Corsalini et al, 2020; Li et al, 2018; Nizam et al, 2020; Xue et al, 2022), and piezoelectric surgery (Li et al, 2013; Testori et al, 2019), while the remaining one reported multiple techniques (Lombardi et al, 2022). Five studies reported no use of bone graft (Andrés‐García et al, 2021; Corsalini et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2019; Nedir et al, 2009; Shi et al, 2020).…”

“…The risk of bias in single arm cohorts were evaluated with modified NOS and the results showed in Table 4. Four studies met all the criteria and were considered to have low risk of bias (Carelli et al, 2021; Lombardi et al, 2022; Nedir et al, 2009; Wang et al, 2021). Eight studies met most of the domines and present low risk of bias(An et al, 2019; Andrés‐García et al, 2021; Corsalini et al, 2020; Kanayama et al, 2016; Li et al, 2018; Shi et al, 2020; Testori et al, 2019; Xue et al, 2022).…”
