Effectiveness of concentrated growth factors in sinus floor elevation:a review
Maxillary sinus floor elevation has become a routine procedure for addressing insufficient bone volume in the atrophic posterior maxilla. Various bone grafting materials,including autologous bone,allografts,xenografts,and synthetic bone substitutes,have been used to achieve adequate bone augmentation for dental implant placement. Concentrated growth factor (CGF),a new generation of platelet concentrate,features a dense fibrin structure enriched with multiple growth factors that regulate cell adhesion,proliferation,differentiation,and angiogenesis. This review focuses on the effects of CGF on implant success rates,the quality of newly formed bone,and the incidence of postoperative complications in maxillary sinus floor elevation procedures.
