What does “sinus lift” mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a procedure used in cases where there is not enough height and width of bone in the upper jaw to place an implant. A part of the sinus cavity is then used, in which a bone graft is placed. This serves as a scaffold for new bone to mature, and after 6 months, the implant can be placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is sinus lift more time-consuming?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Definitely yes, because there is always a waiting time, usually 4-6 months. Additionally, it has a higher cost because, apart from the complexity of the procedure, it requires a relatively large amount of graft material to fill the sinus cavity that will be used for implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the prognosis of a sinus lift procedure?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Success rates in recent years are very high. It is, therefore, a predictable procedure with a good prognosis. However, it should be noted that it requires a longer recovery time, higher costs, and a longer healing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any complications?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like any surgical procedure, it requires careful planning, diagnosis, and execution. There are reports of complications and problems, so a conservative approach would be to exhaust all possibilities of more conventional interventions for implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First alternative<\/strong> is very short implants (up to 4mm). In this case, a greater number of implants will be required for biomechanical reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second alternative<\/strong> is the diagonal or tilted implant, which also has a high success rate in the literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third alternative<\/strong> is closed sinus lift, i.e., a limited (2-3mm) increase of the existing bone, but without the invasiveness of an open sinus lift procedure.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
