Current clinical applications of scaffold materials for maxillary sinus floor elevation
Maxillary sinus floor elevation is a commonly used surgical technique to improve the insufficient height of the residual alveolar ridge bone in the posterior maxilla.The application of scaffolding materials can effectively maintain the stability of the elevation space.Based on the biological principles of maxillary sinus floor elevation,we briefly envisage the properties of ideal scaffolding materials and focus mainly on the current application of scaffold materials in maxillary sinus floor elevation.Finally,this paper summarizes the current clinical applications and provides an outlook on scaffolding materials for maxillary sinus floor elevation.
