[Massive sinus-lift procedures with beta-tricalcium phosphate: long-term results].
The use of bone substitutes in massive sinus-lift pre-implant procedures remains controversial. The aim of our study was to evaluate the long-term reliability of pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate (betaTCP, Cerasorb, Curasan, Kleinostheim, Germany) used in this particular indication. ⋯ The use of betaTCP associated to growth factors (PRP ou PRF) without bone graft, in massive sinus-lift procedures induces few complications. The implant success rate is comparable to the one obtained by using autologous bone grafts. The resorption rate of the material is comparable to that of autologous bone.
