Summary:
The purpose of bone augmentation procedures is reconstruction of the resorbed edentulous ridges to allow the placement of endosseous dental implants.Sinus lifting is the most common and the most documented application of this concept.However,even though the reliability of this technique is widely established,3–5 the procedure remains very delicate.In fact,secondary parameters may occur and jeopardize the treatment evolution. They are divided into 3 categories: bacterial contamination, delayed healing, and mechanical stress.

The Effect of Piezoelectric Use on Open Sinus Lift Perforation: A Retrospective Evaluation of 56 Consecutively Treated Cases From Private Practices
The lateral window approach to maxillary sinus augmentation is a well-accepted treatment option in implant dentistry. The most frequent complication reported with traditional techniques has been the perforation of the Schneiderian membrane, with erforation rates ranging from 11% to 56%. The purpose of this retrospective, consecutive case series from two private practices was to report on the rate of Schneiderian membrane perforations and arterial lacerations when a piezoelectric surgical unit was used in conjunction with hand instrumentation to perform lateral window sinus elevations.
