What is sinus lift lateral approach?
The maxillary sinus augmentation technique is largely divided into a lateral approach method to form a window on the side wall bone of the maxillary sinus and lift the sinus membrane, and a method to be performed at the extraction or alveolar crestal site.
Why do sinus lifts fail?
Although rare, sinus lift complications that can result in failure include: Bone graft material dislodges after blowing nose or sneezing. Infection (Sinusitis) Grafted area cannot develop a blood supply, meaning that existing bone and bone graft material cannot integrate.
What will happen with sinus lifting?
Some of the most common side effects after a sinus lift are swelling and bleeding. This discomfort doesn’t usually extend beyond a few days, and you can return to regular activities as your doctor directs. The most common complication concern for sinus lift surgery is the perforation of the Schneiderian membrane.
How do I know if my sinus lift is infected?
The clinical signs of infection were: headache, locoregional pain, cacosmia, inflammation of the oral buccal mucosa and rhinorrhea or unilateral nasal discharge.
What are sinus Windows?
The openings are made through the thin bone separating the nose and the sinus. They are made inside the nose to prevent any outside cutting or scars. These openings are called sinus windows. Once the sinus is drained, the openings may remain for four months to one year – sometimes longer.
What is sinus membrane?
In anatomy, the Schneiderian membrane is the membranous lining of the maxillary sinus cavity. Microscopically there is a bilaminar membrane with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells on the internal (or cavernous) side and periosteum on the osseous side.
How painful is a sinus lift?
In general, a sinus augmentation or sinus lift is not necessarily painful, but uncomfortable. During the procedure, a patient is unlikely to feel any pain but after, a patient should expect slight discomfort for a short period of time.
Does a sinus lift affect your breathing?
A sinus lift will not affect your voice, your allergies, or your breathing. However, by making it possible to replace your upper molars, you will regain a strong and healthy smile.
How long does it take to recuperate from sinus surgery?
You will probably be able to return to work or school in about 1 week and to your normal routine in about 3 weeks. But this varies with your job and the extent of your surgery. Most people feel normal in 1 to 2 months. You will have to visit your doctor regularly for 3 to 4 months after your surgery.
Are you awake during sinus surgery?
Sinus surgery is performed with general anesthesia so you will be asleep during your procedure. After surgery you will spend a few hours in a recovery room to allow you to wake up. Most patients feel good enough to go home a few hours after their surgery.
What are the advantages of a one-stage crestal approach to maxillary sinus elevation?
1 Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Purpose: Less morbidity is the major advantage to a one-stage crestal approach to maxillary sinus elevation. However, the ability to ensure high primary implant stability in a severely atrophied ridge is of chief concern.
What is maxillary sinus augmentation?
Maxillary sinus augmentation (also known as sinus floor elevation) procedures have become increasingly popular procedures before placement of dental implants in posterior maxillae that have suffered severe bone loss due to sinus pneumatization, alveolar bone atrophy, or trauma.
How to elevate the maxillary sinus with computer guided surgery?
This is a new procedure with computer-guided planning and a guided surgical approach to elevate the maxillary sinus. The use of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing generated surgical template in combination with expander-condensing osteotomes, make this surgical technique minimally invasive.
Is maxillary sinus floor elevation necessary for dental implant placement?
Maxillary sinus floor elevation is described in the literature as a predictable surgical procedure to increase bone height and allow dental implant placement. A wide variety of graft materials had been used to augment the maxillary sinus.
