Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria are: bilateral edentulous patients in the posterior maxillae who require atraumatic bilateral maxillary sinus lifting; presenting a minimum of 5mm bone height (bone crest to inferior wall of maxillary sinus); willing to volunteer in accordance with the Informed Consent Form; to undergo clinical, photographic and tomographic examinations, implant installation with bilateral maxillary sinus lifting; as well as, they should commit to the clinical and tomographic follow-up returns.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria are: patients with indication for implant placement only in one maxillary hemiarch; patients with indication of left and right maxillary implants, but with indication of sinus lift in only one or without indication of lift; Smoking patients; patients with systemic diseases; pregnant or lactating patients; patients who use medications that may interfere with the healing process; patients with periodontal diseases or carious and endodontic lesions; patients under 18 years and patients not committed to treatment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: It is expected to increase the primary stability of implants installed by osseodensification compared to the conventional atraumatic maxillary sinus lift technique with Summers osteotomes; primary stability of these implants will be measured in the transsurgical and postoperative period of three months.;Expected outcome 2: It is expected that bone density in low quality bone in subantral region when using the osseodensification technique will be higher when compared to the atraumatic maxillary sinus lifting technique with Summers osteotomes, the bone density will be measured through cone-beam computed tomography in the preoperative, immediate postoperative and three-month postoperative periods. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected Secondary Outcome 1: Implant torque expected to be greater for implants fitted by osseodensification | — |
