Sinus Floor Elevation From Palatal Approach With Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: In traditional maxillary sinus lift elevation with simultaneous implant placement with deficient residual bone in the posterior region of the maxilla, lateral window osteotomy is commonly employed. However, due to specific anatomical variations, such as an excessively thick buccal bone wall, a palatal approach with simultaneous implant placement may serve as a preferable alternative in selected cases. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old male requested implant-supported restoration in the left maxillary posterior region. Preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed insufficient vertical bone height with a residual bone height (RBH) of 2-3 mm. Given that the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus was significantly thicker than the palatal wall, whereas the alveolar ridge width was sufficient, a palatal approach was executed using the DASK kit for sinus osteotomy, accompanied by simultaneous implant placement. Postoperative CBCT confirmed a sinus graft height of 10 mm, with the bone graft material thoroughly surrounding the implants. Postoperative swelling was minimal. At the 7-month postoperative follow-up, CBCT demonstrated a continuous bone-to-implant interface without peri-implant radiolucency, alongside a homogeneous radiopaque appearance of the grafted sinus blending with the native bone, confirming mature osteogenesis and permitting final prosthesis delivery. Conclusions: The palatal approach for maxillary sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement is a technically feasible treatment modality under specific anatomical conditions.
