Intrasinusal locking technique: a novel use of the ring block technique at sinus perforations for simultaneous implant placement

Ten patients who underwent sinus lift surgery with simultaneous implant placement using the intrasinusal locking technique were evaluated retrospectively. All patients were scheduled for sinus floor elevation procedures with simultaneous implant placement. Schneiderian membrane perforation occurred during the lifting procedure, and conventional methods failed to repair the perforation. Therefore, an autogenous bone ring was placed at the base of the maxillary sinus and was locked to the alveolar crest with a dental implant.
