When the residual bone height is insufficient in the maxillary posterior region, the transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement is less invasive, resulting in milder postoperative reactions and shorter treatment periods compared to the lateral window technique. However, due to the limited surgical vision and elevation technique, the transalveolar technique is susceptible to mucoperiosteal perforation or compromised osteogenesis and is therefore traditionally considered suitable only for cases where the residual bone height is mildly inadequate. With modifications to surgical instruments, improvements in clinical skills, and the assistance of digital technology, researchers have gained new insights into the indications and surgical protocols for transalveolar sinus floor elevation with simultaneous placement of dental implants. This paper presents an overview of the current basic and clinical research status of the transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implantation by reviewing recent literature.

When posterior maxillary teeth are missing, the residual bone height required for implantation is insufficient due to the lack of functional stimulation from the teeth and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. When residual bone volume cannot ensure the initial stability of the implant, a maxillary sinus floor elevation is needed to increase bone volume in the posterior maxillary region. The "PESS" procedure is a "modified" maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery that uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a single bone graft material, with the aid of an endoscope to elevate the maxillary sinus floor through the alveolar ridge and place implants simultaneously. The PESS procedure has optimized maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery to some extent and reduced surgical trauma. This article elaborates on the principles, indications, clinical procedures, and precautions of the "PESS" procedure to provide technical support for its clinical application.

Transalveolar sinus floor elevation is recognized as a minimally invasive and reliable bone augmentation surgery for the posterior maxillary region in implant clinical practice. However, the therapeutic effect remains uncertain when there is Schneider membrane thickening in the maxillary sinus. Given that Schneider membrane thickening is the most common lesion in the maxillary sinus, it is of great clinical significance to clarify its impact on the prognosis of transalveolar sinus floor elevation. In response to this clinical issue, this article provides a review of three aspects: the characteristics of normal Schneider membrane, the manifestations and causes of Schneider membrane thickening, and the impact of Schneider membrane thickening on transalveolar sinus floor elevation, to provide a theoretical basis for the preoperative evaluation of the transalveolar sinus floor elevation.

Maxillary sinus floor elevation is one of the main methods to increase the vertical bone volume for implants in the maxillary posterior region. According to the surgical approach, it can be divided into two surgical procedures: external sinus floor elevation and internal sinus floor elevation. The latter has the advantages of safety, minimally invasiveness, and economy compared with the former. The anatomical morphology of the maxillary sinus is one of the important factors affecting the operation of maxillary sinus floor elevation. This article reviews and analyzes the main anatomical factors such as the morphology of the maxillary sinus floor, the residual bone height, the maxillary sinus septum, and the Schneiderian membrane, in order to help the application of internal sinus floor elevation in clinical work.

In cases of insufficient bone in the maxillary posterior region, the transalveolar technique is a common, safe, and effective method to increase the amount of bone required for implantation. However, this technique may also lead to various intraoperative and postoperative complications. Clinicians need to pay attention to various risk factors to minimize the incidence of complications. The purpose of this article is to discuss the risk factors associated with complications of internal sinus floor elevation, which are categorized into intraoperative and postoperative complications. The most common intraoperative complications are perforations of the sinus floor mucosa and ectopic insertions of implants into the sinus. Postoperative complications, such as maxillary sinus infection and postoperative maxillary sinusitis, displacement of implants after surgery, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), deserve more attention. Given these complications, this article provides a detailed description of the risk factors, hoping to help clinical doctors in using the internal sinus floor elevation more safely and effectively in the clinic.

Bone augmentation is a necessary method to solve the problem of insufficient bone in implant therapy. One of the keys to the success of bone augmentation is that the bone augmentation material should be capable of angiogenesis, forming a network for effective blood-oxygen exchange with the host tissue. In this paper, we review the progress and shortcomings of different bone grafting materials on the properties of angiogenesis, and provide suggestions and references for promoting research and development in bone augmentation materials and their clinical translation.

Objective
To evaluate the effects of various implant shape designs on initial stability under different bone conditions, and to provide biomechanical experimental data and theoretical reference for the optimization of implant structure design.
Methods
SolidWorks software was used to establish the jaw models and implant models. The jaw models included neck, body, and bottom models, and were divided into type I, type II, and type III bones. The implant models were divided into neck, body, and bottom models. The peak equivalent stress values of the models under a vertical 100N load were analyzed by Ansys finite element analysis software, so as to screen the structures whose peak equivalent stress value was below the bone yield strength value. Orthogonal experiments were further conducted on these structural designs to compare and analyze the peak equivalent stress values of various structural combinations of implants in different bone types under a vertical 100N loading mode, so as to obtain the effects of each design on the initial stability and determine the optimal combination of structural designs.
Results
In the neck type I and II jaw models, the design of the implant neck depth had the greatest effect on the initial stability. In the neck type III jaw model, the design of the implant neck pitch had the greatest effect on the initial stability. Among the various body jaw models, the implant pitch design had the greatest effect on the initial stability. In addition, the implant bottom cutting edge design could not increase the initial stability of the implant.
Conclusion
Different design parameters should be selected according to different bone types in clinical implant selection and further implant design. In type I and type II bones, more attention should be paid to the selection of neck and body thread depth. In type III bone, more attention should be paid to the selection of neck pitch and body depth.

Objective
A clinical retrospective study was proposed to compare the bone augmentation effect of GBR based on 3D printing individualized titanium mesh (3D-PITM) with onlay block autogenous bone grafting in the reconstruction of complex alveolar bone defects.
Methods
This study included 39 patients with alveolar bone defects who attended the Implant Department of the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2018 to January 2022. According to bone grafting methods, they were divided into 3D-PITM+GBR group (19 patients) and Onlay group (20 patients). Preoperatively, Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of the patients were imported into Mimics Research and 3-Matic Software for 3D reconstruction and digital design. 3D-PITM was fabricated by CAD/ selective laser melting (SLM) technology. Intraoperatively, bone augmentation surgery was completed with fixed 3D-PITM or autologous bone block. CBCT imaging data were collected preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, 6~9 months postoperatively and after implant placement. Based on the digital radiographic data, the gained bone height on the implant axis and the gained bone width at 0 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm under the implant platform were measured.
Results
The 3D-PITM+GBR group had higher vertical bone increments [2.68 mm (0.45,4.23), 2.27 mm (0.49,3.27)] than onlay group [1.60 mm (0.33,1.62), 1.74 mm (0.53,1.60)] before/after bone grafting and before/after implant placement respectively. The 3D-PITM+GBR group had higher mean bone width increments at 0 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm below the alveolar ridge before and after bone grafting [(1.97±0.97) mm, (2.59±1.22) mm, (2.94±1.50) mm)] than that of onlay group [(1.06±0.99) mm, (1.45±1.25) mm, (2.32± 1.23) mm]. In the 3D-PITM+GBR group, the mean bone width increments at 0 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm below the implant platform before and after implantation [(2.34±1.09) mm, (2.53±1.48) mm, (2.85±2.20) mm)] were lower than those of onlay group [(2.51±1.34) mm, (3.04±1.73) mm, (3.38±1.94) mm]. The 3D-PITM+GBR group had higher osteogenesis rates in both horizontal and vertical directions (66.8%, 68.8%) than the Onlay group (64.6%, 62.6%).3D-PITM for reconstruction of complex alveolar bone defects was able to significantly increase the height and width of alveolar bone reconstruction compared with onlay block autogenous bone grafting, but the implant exposure rate (21%) was still higher than that of the onlay group (5%).
Conclusion
3D-PITM+GBR technique can be used instead of block autogenous bone grafting for reconstruction of complex alveolar bone defects, obtaining ideal bone augmentation results and stable bone contours, but titanium mesh exposure is still a common complication in its application.

With the development of solid organ transplantation treatment technology, the survival period of patients is gradually extended, and the demand to restore missing teeth is increasing. In long-term clinical practice, implant therapy can be used as a safe and effective program to restore stomatognathic function. However, the impacts of primary disease and lifelong immunosuppressive therapy after transplantation on bone metabolism increase the risk of osteoporosis, fracture, and other diseases, and bring potential hazards to implant osseointegration. Therefore, stability of condition after transplantation, control of oral infection during the perioperative period of implantation, implant loading time, and regular follow-up examination are particularly important in the implantation treatment of such patients. In this review, we discuss the effects of solid organ transplantation on bone and implant osteoporosis, the progress and precautions of oral implant treatment, so as to provide guidance for dentists.
