Use of Specifically Designed Drills for Internal Sinus Lifting

This study was conducted at Ege University, School of Dentistry, Izmir, Turkey. Patients enrolled require implant placement to the atrophic posterior maxilla. Patients were treated with either the specifically designed drills or the osteotomes. The outcome variables were primary stability, marginal bone loss, implant survival, and patient-reported outcomes. The investigators aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of two different techniques used in dental implant placement with internal sinus lifting.
