The Potential Influence of Medial Sinus wall Exposure During Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation Procedure on the Blood Supply to the Grafted Material: A Cohort Study

Introduction: Different anatomical parameters may influence the success of lateral sinus floor elevation (LSFE), vascularization of the grafted sinus being a key factor for successful bone remodeling. Since the blood supply from the sinus floor and lateral wall may be compromised other sources such as the medial wall are of utmost importance.
