The aim of the present study was to investigate clinical and radiographic d
ata of patients treated with implants in the posterior maxilla in combinati
on with sinus augmentation. Study parameters included Periotest values, rad
iographic analysis, and survival/success rates up to 5 years. Clinical and
radiographic criteria resulted in a success rate of 92.7% for sinus implant
s. Radiographically, the sinus implants showed a mean coronal bone loss of
0.5 mm at 6 months and 1.2 mm at 48 months. The results showed stable perii
mplant parameters for sinus implants during the observation period of 5 yea
rs. The success rates showed no significant differences regarding different
implant-supported treatment options for the posterior maxillary region.
