dc.descriptionThe aim of this study was to report the 40-month clinical radiographical outcomes of maxillary sinus floor augmentation using leukocyte-platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) as a single graft in combination with immediately placed implants. Twenty partially edentulous individuals with missing teeth in the region associated to maxillary sinus were included in this retrospective study. A lateral sinus floor elevation was performed considering a complete wear of the bone wall of the maxillary sinus and immediately placing the implant and filled the maxillary sinus with L-PRF clots as a single graft. After 5 months, all the implants received single screwed implant-supported prostheses. Subsequent evaluation was every 4 months assessing the success rate and biological complications. Two maxillary sinus membrane were perforated and covered with L-PRF clots. The mean bone height gain was 62.6%, observing a 100% of success and that in all the cases achieved at least the implant height. In conclusion, the use of platelet-rich fibrin clot as a single graft biomaterial during the maxillary sinus lift procedure combined with immediate implant placement may be a reliable clinical alternative, even to repair the sinus membrane.eng
