    High Bone Volume with Sinus Lifting!

    The main factor in the successful outcome of the implant procedure is the strength, quality and quantity of the bone in which the implant will be placed. While some parts of the jaw are very favorable for implants, the upper posterior jaw is the most difficult area to place implants successfully due to its insufficient bone ratio and its proximity to the sinus. In addition, if the person has a history of periodontal disease or has experienced bone loss in the implant area, the amount of bone may not be sufficient for implant placement. In such cases, advanced surgical methods known by different names such as sinus augmentation and sinus lift are used. Sinus lift surgery can help correct this problem by elevating the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants.

    • More Stable

      The sinus lifting procedure increases the bone volume in the posterior region of the upper jaw, making implant applications possible. With this method, bone graft is added to the sinus cavity and the stability of the implants is increased.

    • Preparation for Implants

      Sinus lifting is a treatment method for patients with insufficient upper jaw bone. Thanks to this procedure, sufficient bone height is provided in the sinus cavity, creating a suitable ground for implant placement.

    What are Sinus Lift Sinus Lift Methods?

    Sinus lift surgery can be performed in several different ways. In all variants, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia and usually does not require hospitalization. In cases where no significant complications develop, it is usually a painless method. In sinus floor elevation, 2 methods called open and closed technique are preferred. In the open technique, a window is opened in the sinus wall and a material called graft is applied and the height is increased. This technique can only be performed in a large working area and the incision is made larger to provide this area. This method is more invasive than the closed method and the risk of complications is higher.

    In the closed technique, the existing bone is displaced with the help of instruments called osteotomes. As a result of this displacement, the sinus floor is raised upwards. This method involves fewer interventional procedures and the risk of complications is lower. In general, both methods are safe and do not cause unavoidable risks when successfully applied.

    To Whom Can Sinus Lift Not Be Applied?

    There are some conditions in which sinus lift surgery should not be performed. These situations include the following:

    • Presence of sinus infection
    • Insufficient amount of alveolar bone
    • Presence of chronic sinusitis
    • Presence of widespread infection in the body
    • Presence of uncontrolled and recurrent chronic diseases

    Does Bleeding Occur in Sinus Lift Sinus Lift Surgery?

    One of the most common complications of sinus lift operation is bleeding. There are 3 arteries in the sinus area that can cause this bleeding. The artery that can cause serious bleeding when damaged is the alveolar antral artery. However, studies have shown that the distance of this artery to the alveolar crest, which is the main working area, is around 16 mm. Accordingly, it has been determined that the risk of encountering this artery during the surgical procedure is approximately 20%.

    What Should Be Considered After Sinus Lift Sinus Lift Procedure?

    After sinus lift surgery, there are some points to be considered in order to overcome the healing process without any problems and to contribute to the success rate of the procedure. These points include the following:

    • Taking the medicines recommended by the doctor regularly and not interrupting them,
    • Avoiding nose blowing for at least 2 weeks after the procedure,
    • Avoiding the consumption of tobacco products such as cigarettes for at least 10 days,
    • Avoiding heavy physical sports such as football, volleyball and contact combat sports after surgery,
    • Avoiding situations that cause sudden pressure changes, such as diving and traveling by plane.
