Dental implant therapy in the posterior maxilla may be difficult owing to limited bone height after dental extraction with sinus pneumatization. Several approaches for sinus floor elevation have been documented, and hence flapless transcrestal sinus floor elevation is minimally invasive technique which is used in moderately defected maxilla. Aim of the study: to evaluate both clinical and radiographic outcomes in sinus floor elevation following dental implant placement using flapless transcrestal sinus lift approach with Titanium platelet rich fibrin (TPRF) as a sole sinus graft material compared to Platelet rich fibrin (PRF).

Change in bone density
Cuts of CBCT (cross sectional, axial and sagittal view), bone density, will be analyzed using On-demand software. The radiographic evaluation will be based on radiological parameters, using reference points and lines at T0 and T1.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months
Change in implant stability
Secondary implant stability will be measured 6 months post-operatively using Osstell device.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months
change in pain scores
Pain (by Visual Analogous Scale) ranges from 0 to 10 0 - No pain. 2 to 4 - Mild pain. 5 to 7 - Moderate pain. 8 to 10 - severe pain.
Time frame: 1st day, 3rd day and 1 week
