The aim of this literature review to evaluate the influence of bone graft on the success rate of dental implants placed with the OSFE technique. Material and methods: An electronic search was performed on Pubmed for all the articles published in English from 2000-2021 comparing the osteotome sinus elevation technique with or without bone grafting. Only clinical studies with test and control groups comparing the OSFE technique with and without bone , with at least 10 patients involved were included. Results: 7 studies were included, the survival rate, marginal bone loss, endosinus bone gain were compared between studies. Conclusion: The literature review showed that he OSFE technique with the incorporation of bone substitutes did not add any advantage over the technique without bone grafts.
