Methods: A total of 172 lateral-approach sinus floor augmentation surgeries were performed on 130 patients. Sixty-one membrane perforations (35%) were reported. Most of the perforations were caused by accidental membrane tearing and 16 (26%) were caused by deliberate incision for mucocele removal. In 31 perforation cases (51%), the Schneiderian membrane was sealed by suturing, while the remaining 30 cases (49%) were sealed using a low-resorption collagen membrane coverage. Results: Out of the 31 cases treated with a suture-sealing techniques, 26 (84%) were successful, presenting graft integration. Failure occurred in the other five (16%) cases. Out of the 30 perforations sealed with low-resorption collagen membranes, 28 (93%) presented successful graft integration, while two (7%) failed. Conclusions: Both surgical techniques yielded therapeutic success.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8091491","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]],"date-time":"2019-09-19T03:40:06Z","timestamp":1568864406000},"page":"1491","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Management of Schneiderian Membrane Perforations during Sinus Augmentation Procedures: A Preliminary Comparison of Two Different Approaches"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4376-4521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Horia Mihail","family":"Barbu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Implantology Department, Titu Maiorescu University, 031593 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefania Andrada","family":"Iancu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Clinic \u201cDr. Barbu Dental Clinic\u201d, 011473 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iasmin","family":"Jarjour Mirea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Clinic \u201cEuropean Center of Implantology\u201d, 011473 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele Davide","family":"Mignogna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Head &amp; Neck Clinical Section, Department of Neuroscience, Reproductive and Odontostomatological Sciences, Federico II University of Naples, 80138 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nachum","family":"Samet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials Sciences, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4067-2253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Calvo-Guirado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Implant Surgery, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica of Murcia, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1111\/prd.12185","article-title":"Modern implant dentistry based on osseointegration: 50 years of progress, current trends and open questions","volume":"73","author":"Buser","year":"2017","journal-title":"Periodontology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2017.05.001","article-title":"A systematic review and meta-analysis of long-term studies (five or more years) assessing maxillary sinus floor augmentation","volume":"47","author":"Aludden","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int.
