Focused question (PECO) | How are Schneiderian membrane perforations that occur during maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) with lateral approach managed, and does perforation influence subsequent implant survival rates? | |
P (Population) | Adult human patients requiring maxillary sinus floor augmentation with lateral approach for subsequent placement of dental implants. | 1# (maxillary sinus floor augmentation OR membrane perforation) AND (dental implant) |
E (Exposure) | Repairing sinus membrane perforations during maxillary sinus floor augmentation. | 2# (sinus lift surgery OR membrane perforation OR management of Schneiderian membrane perforations OR repair system for sinus membrane perforations) AND (dental implant) |
C (Comparison) | Maxillary sinus floor augmentation without membrane perforation. | 3# (maxillary sinus floor augmentation OR sinus lift surgery) AND (dental implant) |
O (Outcome) | Schneiderian membrane perforation rate during MSFA with lateral approach; available therapeutic procedures for repairing these perforations; associated complications of Schneiderian membrane perforations; survival rates of implants in perforated vs. non-perforated membranes. | 4# (implant survival rate OR complication OR outcome) |
Search combination Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Scopus | 1# AND 2# AND 3# AND 4# | |
