SINUS LIFT USING A-PRF AND CERABONE AND SIMULTANEOUS INSERTION OF IMPLANTS – CASE REPORT

Abstract

Sinus floor elevation with autogenous bone grafts and/or bone substitutes is a generally accepted procedure that allows the insertion of implants. Recent studies have shown good results of the use of the PRF in stimulating bone regeneration, especially when it is used in combination with other grafting materials. The purpose of this case report is to present the clinical results of sinus lift procedure through the lateral window antrostomy in the right sinus using A-PRF and bone substituents (Cerabone) and simultaneous insertion of implants as well as the evaluation of healing time. The results of this case report shows that A PRF can be used successfully in combination with bone substitutes in lateral sinus lift technique with immediate insertion of implants. All implants that were inserted immediately, simultaneously with sinus lift procedure were osteointegrated correctly and it was possible to proceed to the stage of final prosthesis. Conclusions: The use of the combination of A-PRF and Cerabone in sinus lift technique speeded healing time by approximately 50%, thus favoring implant osseointegration, went without postoperative complications and showed good acceptance by the patient.
