Maxillary Sinus Lift Up: An Indirect Approach for Implant Placement in Posterior Maxilla
نویسندگان
چکیده
The posterior maxilla presents several challenges to the implantologist. Implant dentistry has become an excellent treatment modality since its inception into the modern era of dentistry. When patients present with deficient alveolar ridges, it could jeopardize the application of implant dentistry. This problem is especially magnified in the posterior maxilla where ridge resorption and sinus pneumatization are often encountered. The procedure of choice to restore this anatomic deficiency is maxillary sinus floor lift up. The purpose of this case report is to bring forward such technique which prevents perforation of sinus lining during implant placement by doing the sinus lifting with indirect approach through alveolar crest. The indirect approach for sinus lift is less invasive and less complex and therefore a better alternative for such cases.

Outcome of short implants as an alternative to sinus lift surgery and standard-length implants for rehabilitation of atrophic posterior maxilla: A clinical trial
Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of short implants (<8 mm length) as an alternative to sinus lift surgery and placement of standard-length implants (10-12 mm length) for rehabilitation of atrophic posterior maxilla. Materials and Methods: In this prospective clinical trial, 26 patients with 6-7 mm of residual alveolar bone height in their atrophic posterior ...

Ridge atrophy accompanied by the pneumatization of maxillary sinus in the maxillary posterior region may lead to inadequate bone height, thereby precluding implant placement. Therefore, it may be mandatory to perform a sinus membrane elevation procedure and augmentation in the bone. The present study aimed to introduce a novel modification method for sinus floor elevation using a gelatin sponge...

Implant placement becomes complicated when the height and width of the bone is compromised especially in the posterior maxillary region due to the presence of sinus. This case report presents the rehabilitation of the left maxillary premolar region by using indirect sinus lift and ridge splitting followed by immediate implant placement where the bone height and bone width was compromised. It he...

The extraction of posterior teeth and subsequent pneumatization of the maxillary sinus compromises osseointegrated implant placement in the posterior maxilla and necessitates associated surgical procedures like sinus floor elevation (sinus lift) and maxillary ridge augmentation. Sinus lift and bone grafting is the procedure of choice when the crestal bone height (CBH) is less than the shortest ...

Restoration of the posterior maxilla with reduced bone height and pneumatized sinus is a challenge to the implant surgeon. The surgeon has the option of a direct sinus-lift approach or an indirect blind approach. Both of which have its own complications. Displacement of an implant into the maxillary sinus is rare occurrence and normally seen after the implant has been in service for a number of...
