SINUS LIFTING

A key to implant success is the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is to be placed. The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. If you've lost bone in that area due to reasons such as periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may be left without enough bone to place implants.

Sinus lift surgery can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants. Several techniques can be used to raise the sinus and allow for new bone to form.

In one common technique, an incision is made to expose the bone. Then a small circle is cut into the bone. This bony piece is lifted into the sinus cavity, much like a trap door, and the space underneath is filled with bone graft material. Your periodontist can explain your options for graft materials, which can regenerate lost bone and tissue.

Finally, the incision is closed and healing is allowed to take place. Depending on your individual needs, the bone usually will be allowed to develop for about four to 12 months before implants can be placed. After the implants are placed, an additional healing period is required. In some cases, the implant can be placed at the same time the sinus is augmented.

Undergoing sinus lift surgery has been shown to greatly increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come. Many patients experience minimal discomfort during this procedure.

Sinus Why Doing Upgrade Process?

After the extraction of the teeth on the back side, a rapid dissolution occurs in the jawbone due to the lack of implantation. A downward sag is also observed in the maxillary sinuses located on the lower teeth. In this case, we can not find enough bone height to be able to apply 10 mm long implants which we accepted as standard.
Advanced implant surgery, which we call sinus lift, sinus lifting, is a surgical procedure performed by removing the membrane surrounding the sinuses without tearing and filling the resulting gap with bone grafts (dental bone dust). The aim of this method is to raise the sagging sinus and to create the appropriate bone volume for the implant in the grafted area.
