Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Maxillary sinus elevation is a key procedure in the implant-supported rehabilitation of the atrophic posterior maxilla, although it carries significant surgical risks. This systematic review analyzes the main associated complications, their frequency, predisposing factors, and management strategies. Fourteen studies published between 2020 and 2025 were included, identified through searches in PubMed, Springer, and Redalyc. Schneiderian membrane perforation was the most frequently reported complication, with incidence rates up to 56%, followed by bleeding, sinusitis, and infections. The type of surgical approach, sinus anatomy, and operator technique influenced the occurrence of these events. The most common management strategies included the use of resorbable membranes, technology-assisted surgery, and antibiotic protocols. It is concluded that individualized, evidence-based surgical planning is essential to minimize complications and improve clinical outcomes.
