Özet

Background: Sinus membrane perforation is the most common complication of the sinus-augmentation procedure. Anatomic factors have been implicated in the risk of sinus membrane perforation (SMP) during sinus-lift surgery. However, there are no reports on the relationships among gingival phenotype (GP), residual ridge height (RRH), membrane thickness (MT), and perforation rate of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, the aim of this clinical study is to determine the associations among GP, RRH, MT, and SMP rate.
