Sinus Floor Augmentation Using Crestal Approach in Conjunction with Hydroxyapatite/Cross-Linked Collagen Sponge: A Pilot Study

Within the limitations of the present study, t-SFA (a trans crestal sinus floor augmentation) is confirmed to be a less invasive method, less painful and with milder postoperative symptoms than lateral SFA. In addition, only one perforation was reported, in which there was no migration of the study material. In conclusion OSSIX™ Bone, in combination with endosinusal elevators, could be considered as a suitable material for t-SFA due to its good outcomes in promoting the formation of new bone.
