Methods: A total of 72 patients underwent crestal sinus floor elevation procedures and were provided with 102 implants with a sand-blasted and acid-etched surface with microthreads (Medentika\u00ae Microcone Implants, Hugelsheim, Germany). Patients were divided into two groups; the osseodensification group (OD; n = 36) and the osseodensified augmentation group (ODA; n = 36). Results: The mean residual bone height (RBH) was 5.71 (1.77) and 4.30 (0.94) mm in the OD and ODA groups, respectively. An ESBG of 3.45 (1.18) and 5.74 (1.31) mm was observed in the OD and ODA groups, respectively, and as compared to the baseline RBH, the ESBG was statistically significant in both groups after 6 months (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Within the limits of this retrospective study, crestal sinus lifting with the osseodensification technique seems to be a fast, effective, and safe method. Longer follow-up studies with full intrasinus bone topography and structure analyses are needed to prove the success rate of endo-sinus bone gain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13082225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]],"date-time":"2024-04-12T03:34:37Z","timestamp":1712892877000},"page":"2225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation and Simultaneous Implant Installation via Osseodensification Drills: A Retrospective Analysis of Bone Gain in 72 Patients Followed for 6 Months"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7121-0257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alper","family":"Saglanmak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Implantology, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul University, Fatih, Istanbul 34093, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ihsan Caglar","family":"Cinar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Implantology, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul University, Fatih, Istanbul 34093, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7575-3515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed","family":"Zboun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Arab American University, 13 Zababdeh, Jenin 240, Palestine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0881-7483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Volkan","family":"Arisan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Implantology, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul University, Fatih, Istanbul 34093, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1661-7529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eitan","family":"Mijiritsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Neck Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery, Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 64239, Israel"},{"name":"Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 39040, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.11607\/jomi.9215","article-title":"Evaluation of Sinus Pneumatization and Dental Implant Placement in Atrophic Maxillary Premolar and Molar Regions","volume":"37","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
