Abstract

Aim of the study: to compare clinically, radigraphically and histologically the  application of PRF and grafless lateral sinus lift with simulatanous implant placement.
Material and methods: ten patients with missing maxillary posterior teeth to receive 20 implants underwent this lateral sinus lift technique performed using an SLA KIT. Patients divided equally into two groups.  Group A; included 10 implants combined with  application of PRF at the osteotomy site surface while group B; included 10 implants without PRF application. The  residual bone height was 3-5 mm at least. Immediately after the implant placement, implant stability test was performed using the Osstell Monitor, Patients were recalled for follow up at  6 months. Radiographic and clinical and histological examinations were conducted .
Result:  All implants were considered successful after 6 months from implantation. No  significant difference in bone quality or quantity and implant stability in group A and group B .
Conclusion: There is no   difference between application of PRF and graftless sinus lift in new bone formation and implant stability at 6 month from implantation.
