Sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a procedure that facilitates
the placement of dental implants for patients who have lost bone but need
dental implants. Because the jawbone in the area where the implant will be
applied is generally thinner than other areas, an adequate amount of bone
cannot be achieved. Since natural teeth allow bone cells to continue to
regenerate by stimulating the jawbone, bone loss occurs after natural teeth are
removed. Sinus Lifting is a very successful treatment method that compensates
for this loss.
The anatomical cavities (sinuses) on the upper jaw near the molars create
sound and reduce the weight of the head. When these cavities diminish, bone
volume losses occur. These losses cause problems in implant application
processes. This procedure increases the amount of bone in the maxilla required
for dental implants.
Situations such as missing teeth, behind the jaw near the sinuses,
anatomical deficiencies, periodontal disease, may require Lifting of the
sinuses. The proximity of the sinuses to the maxilla may adversely affect the
area required for implant application. The sinus Lifting procedure can be used
to gain more space.
Treatment:
Lifting of the paranasal sinuses is generally a bone grafting procedure.
During this procedure, autogenous bones from the mouth or other parts of the
body, allogenic bones from cadavers, xenograft from cows or synthetic materials
can be used.
After the measurements to be performed, the application is started.
The sinus lift procedure is a very simple operation that takes about 2
hours and is usually performed in the office under local anesthesia.
After anesthesia, the gum is cut and the jaw bone is exposed. Then a small
circular incision is made to push the sinus membrane into the bone. After the
gap is filled with bone graft, the procedure is completed by suturing.
After
treatment:
Patients can
go home the same day. It is natural that swelling and bleeding occur after the
procedure.Food and drink should be avoided for 2 hours after the procedure.
Care should be taken to protect the wound area from contact with food and drink
for 24 hours.Keeping the bone graft in place is the most important issue in the
healing process. Therefore, nose cleansing should be done carefully to avoid
pressure that may occur in the area, and keeping the mouth closed while
sneezing should be avoided. All this can cause the bone graft material to move
and loosen the suture. With Cheeseteeth, you can make an
