| Abstract | ||
| Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term changes in the vertical bone height after sinus augmentation and simultaneous implant placement. Patients and Method: Twenty-nine patients had received a sinus floor elevation with simultaneously inserted implants. The sinus floor elevation was performed through a lateral window osteotomy. The implant sites were prepared using the conventional drilling technique. The vertical bone height was measured from immediately, 6 months, 1 year and 5 years postoperative radiographs. Results: A significant reduction of vertical bone height occurred during the first 12 months after which the resorption rate slow down and bone height eventually became stable (P<0.001). Conclusion: Sinus augmented sites showed a radiographic reduction of the vertical height over the first year and minimal changes had been observed in the 5-year period following maxillary sinus floor elevation. | ||
