Prospective study reveals odontogenic thickening affects membrane perforation and bone formation during sinus elevation.
Our results demonstrate that neither primary nor odontogenic pathological Schneiderian membrane thickening influences the early success rate of implants placed simultaneously with transcrestal sinus floor elevation. Nevertheless, odontogenic pathological Schneiderian membrane thickening significantly increases the incidence of Schneiderian membrane perforation and decreases the formation of new bone.
