Schneider membrane thickness classification evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography and its importance in the predictability of perforation. Retrospective analysis of 200 patients

Perforation of the Schneiderian membrane is a common complication of sinus augmentation. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the associations between the lateral wall technique and the ridge approach and the risk of perforation, together with the relations between the thickness of the membrane and the risk of perforation. We studied 200 patients (103 men and 97 women) who had cone-beam computed tomography (CT) before a sinus lift with either a lateral wall technique (n=100) or the rigid approach (n=100) for insertion of prosthetic implants.
