Sinus lift

Sinus lift is a bone grafting procedure designed to increase the volume of bone in the maxillary sinus to facilitate the placement of dental implants. When there is insufficient bone height in the sinus, this technique creates space for the implant by gently lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone filler.

The procedure begins with an incision in the gum to gain access to the jawbone. Next, a small opening is made in the bone to access the maxillary sinus. The sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone graft material is inserted into the space created. This material may be natural or synthetic bone. Once the graft has been placed, the gum is closed and healing begins.

Sinus lift is an effective procedure for treating cases where there is insufficient bone height in the sinus to accommodate dental implants. It allows patients who were previously limited to removable prostheses to benefit from dental implants and fixed prostheses, thus improving their quality of life.

 

Bone grafting

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure designed to increase bone volume using natural, artificial or synthetic bone. It is mainly used to reinforce the stability of dentures, repair bone trauma or correct bone defects caused by periodontal disease. Its main purpose is to enable dental implants to be placed when the jawbone does not have the necessary dimensions.

Bone loss in the jaws can be caused by tooth loss, resulting in reduced bone stimulation. In addition, the maxillary sinus can also contribute to bone loss, developing further when the back teeth are missing.
