The technique of sinus lift is performed by a qualified dentist in order to better develop the surgical placement of dental implants. The sinus is an air cavity located on either side of the nose that reaches the posterior teeth of the upper jaw as it extends laterally. There is a direct relationship between the sinus and the maxilla and it is possible that there is an increase in the size of the sinus resulting from atrophy. This is usually seen when the posterior teeth of the maxilla are missing for a long period of time. The result is that the height of the bone in the area decreases and the size of the sinus increases.
What are the cases when a sinus lift is required
In cases where the surgical placement of dental implants in the area of the back teeth of the upper jaw is necessary and the height of the maxillary sinus is not sufficient for the placement to be safe and perfect, sinus lift surgery is necessary. The aim is to correct this particular piece, so that the experienced Maxillofacial Surgeon can then proceed safely to the placement of the surgical implants.
Sinus Lift: What is the Procedure
The standard procedure of sinus lift involves in most cases local anesthesia with an intraoral approach. During the procedure, which takes about half an hour, the sinus floor is removed away from the area where the implants will be placed and then a bone graft is placed in the gap created.
A period of four months is then allowed for the new bone placed to integrate well with the existing bone in the maxilla. This increases the height of the area where the dental implants will be placed. Finally, once the waiting period is over, the dental surgeon proceeds to place the dental implants.
