Maxillary sinus graft as a method for enabling osseointegrated implants

Abstract

Implants cannot always be performed directly in the maxillary sinus of patients. Tooth loss often generated degrees of bone resorption, making it necessary to lift the maxillary sinus through a graft. Thus, the study aims to analyze the relationship between maxillary sinus graft and implants. As a method, bibliographic research is adopted through a review of a sample of 25 (twenty-five) scientific articles published between 1994 and 2021 in databases such as SciELO, CAPES, LILACS, PubMed and Academic Google. The results show the graft as a means of enabling bone-integrated implants, highlighting the possibility of platelet aggregates, such as platelet-rich plasma and fibrin rich in platelets and leukocytes as materials with growth, anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
