Several techniques have been proposed to manage patients with insufficient bone height for implant placement in the posterior maxilla. The lateral approach to sinus elevation is a successful procedure, with percentages of success close to 100%. Unfortunately, a frequent complication encountered during sinus elevation procedure is perforation of the Schneiderian membrane. In this clinical report, the authors present the application of a diamond coated sonic tip and an air-driven sonic instrument, commonly used in prosthodontics for the preparation of the lateral window osteotomy during sinus augmentation procedures.

Conclusions:
Implants with turned surfaces were 2.9 times more likely to fail compared to the roughened dental implants, although the difference did not reach statistical significance. For implants with turned surfaces, there was a tendency for implants in the maxilla to fail more frequently compared to the mandible. Implants with turned surfaces had a higher likelihood of failure in the posterior region than in the anterior region. For implants with roughened surface there was no significant association between implant survival and location of the implant, type of bone, or length or diameter of the implant.
