Trans-crestal sinus lift procedures are well established.to retrospectively analyse the efficacy of a flapless trans-crestal maxillary sinus floor elevation and simultaneous dental implant placement based on the Localised Management of Sinus Floor (LMSF) technique suitable for cases with sufficient width of keratinized tissue and of crestal bone but insufficient vertical dimensions of the bone below the sinus.71 sinus elevations with simultaneous implant placement were performed on 52 consecutive patients. Following an initial pilot bur transmucosal perforation, the Magnetic Mallet was used with progressively larger osteotomes. The mallet osteotomes are initially directed palatally, towards the cortex of the medial wall of the sinus, below the palato-nasal recess (PNR) and then redirected in a more vertical direction to create the final osteotomy for implant placement.No significant complications were reported in the post-operative phase. The cumulative success rate during the observation period was 95%. All successful implants were successfully loaded with metal-ceramic or monolithic zirconia crowns and bridges and remained in function during the observation period.Flapless Localised Management of Sinus Floor (LMSF) is a safe and effective surgical technique with minimal risks and with the advantage of low morbidity. Also, only native bone is used for augmentation and there is no need for additional grafting.
