Abstract

Tooth loss is a common problem that can affect oral esthetics and function. To restore masticatory function and appearance, implant dentistry emerges as an effective solution. In cases where the height of the maxillary bone is insufficient, a maxillary sinus lift can be performed. In this procedure, the maxillary sinus is elevated and bone grafts are added to increase bone thickness, thus creating a stable base for implant placement. Bone grafts are fundamental in many implant dentistry procedures. These grafts can be obtained from the patient himself, from bone banks or from synthetic materials. They promote bone regeneration, providing a suitable framework for implant fixation. The objective of the present study was to report a clinical case of maxillary sinus lift using platelets rich in fibrin and leukocytes (L-PRF) and bone graft associated with the installation of immediate implants in elements 14, 15 and 16. maxillary sinus lift technique with bone graft and L-PRF for immediate implant placement is highly successful. This is due to its low rate of complications, reduced surgical time for a single session and the ability to rehabilitate the patient both aesthetically and functionally.
