Various materials have been advocated and utilized; these fall into the categories of allograft, xenograft and synthetic materials. This article shall discuss a study of 10 cases with a 2-year follow-up utilizing a novel synthetic graft material used for sinus augmentation either simultaneously with implant placement or in preparation for sinus augmentation and implant placement in the posterior maxilla. The results of the 10 cases in the study found consistent results over the 2-year study period with maintenance of the alveolar height at the maxillary sinus. A lack of complications or failures in the study group demonstrates the technique has useful applications in increasing ridge height to permit implant placement inferior to the sinus floor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12072485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]],"date-time":"2023-03-24T08:43:03Z","timestamp":1679647383000},"page":"2485","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sinus Augmentation for Implant Placement Utilizing a Novel Synthetic Graft Material with Delayed Immediate Socket Grafting: A 2-Year Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9182-0626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Fairbairn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Clinic, School of Dentistry, University of Detroit Mercy, 2700 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Detroit, MI 48208, USA"},{"name":"Private Practice, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stuart","family":"Kilner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6293-2231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominic","family":"O\u2019Hooley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, Leeds, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Fish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, Jersey, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5644-7923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregori M.","family":"Kurtzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, Silver Spring, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"464","DOI":"10.1563\/aaid-joi-D-21-00310","article-title":"Bone Graft Osseous Changes After Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation: A Systematic Review","volume":"48","author":"Alhajj","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
