O ne in four sinus lift procedures can be expected to result in perforations of the Schneiderian membrane. Although the clinical signifi cance of this complication remains controversial, a careful assessment of the risk factors can help us prevent perforations, along with the use of prudent surgical techniques. Several techniques for repairing the sinus membrane have been proposed which vary depending on the location and size of the perforation. Th is article will present three case reports involving sinus membrane perforations which were treated using advanced platelet-rich fi brin (A-PRF).
