Use of biomaterials in filling the maxillary sinus for implant dentistry

literature review

Abstract

The choice of bone substitute to perform the maxillary sinus lift still remains one of the biggest challenges in the current scenario of Dentistry, especially in Implantology. At the same time, there is a wide variety of biomaterials on the market today, whether synthetic or biological, with variable particle sizes and different classifications, including origin, biological reaction to biological property and their indications for use in implant dentistry. Maxillary sinus lift is a treatment that has been performed with great success since care such as bone quality and quantity, types of biomaterials used for grafting and professional training have been increasingly studied in order to increase the predictability of results. Thus, the objective of this review is to evaluate the use of biomaterials in the maxillary sinus lift, as well as the aspects related to the use of these bone substitutes and their characteristics.
