An Approach to Support Implant Applications by Increasing Upper Jaw Bone Height
Sinus lifting is a surgical procedure that involves carefully adding bone material to the sinus cavity in patients with insufficient bone height in the posterior region of the upper jaw. This method is planned and safely applied to provide sufficient bone volume for implant placement.
At Avrupa Sağlık Diş, sinus lifting procedures are planned with detailed clinical and radiological evaluation. Sinus cavity anatomy, bone density, and intraoral conditions are examined together. Scientific data and evidence-based approaches are used in the planning process, creating a controlled and predictable treatment process for each patient.
Sinus lifting surgery is not performed in the same way for every patient. The treatment process is planned individually, taking into account bone structure, sinus anatomy, and overall health condition.
A comprehensive evaluation is performed before a sinus lift.
Before starting treatment, an oral examination and radiological studies are performed together. The anatomy of the sinus cavity, bone height, and jaw structure are analyzed in detail. This assessment forms the basis for the safe and controlled progress of the procedure.
Based on the clinical data obtained, a treatment plan is determined. The surgical steps to be followed during the procedure are clearly planned. Planning is done with the goal of predictable and controlled progress.
Sinus lifting procedures are performed in a planned and controlled manner.
The procedure is performed under sterile clinical conditions and according to the established plan. Bone material is carefully placed, and the sinus tissue is preserved. Post-procedure healing is monitored with regular check-ups.
During the follow-up period, bone volume and tissue condition are evaluated. Additional guidance is provided as needed based on clinical observations. The entire process is considered within the context of comprehensive treatment.
Sinus lifting is a surgical approach planned for cases where the upper jawbone height is insufficient.
In this method, bone material is added to the sinus cavity to create sufficient volume for implant placement. The aim is to allow for stable implant placement in the upper jaw. The procedure is performed using current scientific approaches and controlled surgical techniques.
The treatment process is not limited to the surgical procedure alone. Clinical evaluation, placement, and healing phases are planned together. This approach supports a safe and predictable progression of the process.
Learn MoreSuitability is determined through detailed clinical and radiological examinations.
An evaluation is performed for patients with sinus cavity insufficiency who are planning implant placement. Bone structure, jaw anatomy, and general health status are examined before the procedure. The procedure protocol is different for each patient.
Additional guidance and supportive methods are included in the planning as needed. These stages contribute to the controlled progress of the treatment.
Online ConsultationSinus Lifting is one of the advanced surgical procedures applied when bone height in the upper jaw's posterior region is insufficient. Particularly relevant when there is inadequate bone volume for implant planning, Sinus Lifting is based on the principle of controlled elevation of the maxillary sinus floor and supporting the resulting space with a bone graft. This process aims to create a suitable bone foundation for the implant.
Bone loss in the posterior upper jaw can increase over time following tooth extraction. Additionally, the anatomical expansion of the maxillary sinus can reduce bone height. Therefore, Sinus Lifting is considered a complementary surgical technique aimed at increasing the success of implant treatment.
Sinus Lifting is most frequently preferred for patients where implants are planned but bone height is insufficient. The natural amount of bone in the upper posterior region is generally more limited compared to the lower jaw. Bone resorption after tooth loss and the expansion of the sinus cavity can make this situation even more pronounced.
Thanks to Sinus Lifting, the vertical bone volume where an implant can be placed can be increased. However, the necessity in each case is determined through clinical and radiological analysis.
Sinus Lifting surgery is generally applied using two techniques: the lateral window technique and the closed technique. Which method is preferred depends on the existing bone height and the planned implant length.
A small window is opened in the lateral wall of the sinus, and the sinus membrane is carefully lifted upward. The resulting space is filled with a bone graft.
A controlled elevation is performed through the implant socket. Protecting the sinus membrane during Sinus Lifting is of critical importance.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The duration of the operation may vary depending on the case.
The recovery process after Sinus Lifting depends on individual factors. Mild swelling and sensitivity may be observed during the first few days. Soft tissue healing usually progresses significantly within 7 to 14 days.
The maturation process of the bone graft can take longer. Bone integration after Sinus Lifting may take several months. This duration can affect the timing of implant placement. In some cases, the implant can be applied in the same session, while in others, waiting may be preferred.
It is possible to feel mild to moderate pain after Sinus Lifting. This situation is generally due to surgical trauma and is short-lived in most cases. Additionally, mild nasal congestion or a feeling of sinus pressure may occur. If severe or long-lasting symptoms occur, a follow-up is recommended.
The necessity of Sinus Lifting is most often based on bone volume analysis. Measurements taken with cone-beam tomography reveal whether there is sufficient vertical distance for the implant. Anatomically, the sinus cavity in the upper jaw posterior is wide. Alternative implant designs or short implant options may be evaluated in some cases.
Sinus Lifting may not be suitable for every individual. Active sinus infections, uncontrolled systemic diseases, or heavy smoking can affect the planning. Additionally, specific variations in sinus anatomy can increase surgical risks.
In some cases, it may be possible to apply implants without Sinus Lifting. Especially if sufficient bone height exists or if short implants are planned, sinus elevation may not be necessary. However, if bone height is critically low, placing an implant without Sinus Lifting can pose a risk to long-term stability.
Sinus Lifting is an advanced surgical approach aimed at resolving bone insufficiency in implant treatment. Correct patient selection, appropriate technique choice, and meticulous surgical application form the cornerstones of the process.
Sinus Lifting is a scientific method developed to overcome anatomical limitations in implant planning. However, its necessity and applicability must be determined through expert evaluation. This approach aims to create a more secure foundation for implants in the upper jaw posterior region.
