Why do maxillary sinus lifts?

The maxillary sinus lift is mainly to open the maxillary sinus by opening the bone plate on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, stripping the mucosa of the maxillary sinus floor, and implanting the bone powder to the desired height for the operation. This technique is generally aimed at Artificial Teeth Resin with insufficient bone mass in the maxillary sinus area. The commonly used maxillary sinus lift surgery is generally two methods of implant tooth extraction and internal extraction.

The bottom of the maxillary sinus of titanium and zirconium is reached through a specific surgical procedure and the purpose of increasing the height of the jaw that can be used for implantation. Generally speaking, maxillary sinus lifting, must be performed in a state where the maxillary sinus is free of inflammation. If there is inflammation, it is necessary to eliminate inflammation and strictly control the recurrence before surgery.

So what is the difference between internal and external lift of the maxillary sinus?

The Artificial teeth resin supplier teaches you the difference between internal and external maxillary sinus lifts:

The maxillary sinus lift technique: without damaging the maxillary sinus mucosa, the bone wall of the maxillary sinus is cut open, the mucosa is carefully peeled off, and cancellous bone or bone substitute is implanted between the mucosa and the maxillary sinus floor, and then the incision is closed. This creates new bone between the mucosa and the bone, increasing the bone thickness in the maxillary implant area.

The difficulty of external lifting is higher than that of internal lifting. It is mainly aimed at customers whose maxillary sinus lifting height exceeds 4mm, and the postoperative failure rate of external lifting surgery, the rate of maxillary sinus mucosal perforation during surgery and the probability of maxillary sinusitis are higher than Internal lift.

Secondly, it exists in the second operation area, and the postoperative trauma is relatively large, and the pain and swelling of customers are more obvious, and most of them need to wait 6–8 months before implantation surgery.

Maxillary sinus lift technique: Bone powder is injected into the submucosa through the channel of the implant so that a longer implant can be placed. This technique can effectively increase the height of the bone graft area. The operation can be performed in an outpatient clinic, and the effect is relatively stable except for the high price of the implanted bone substitute. Antibiotic support is given after surgery, and there are generally no accidents. The maxillary sinus lift technology provides a new method for the implantation and restoration of the missing teeth in the back of the maxilla. The maxillary sinus lift and bone grafting implantation at the same time are safe and feasible, and the effect is reliable. It not only reduces the number of operations and shortens the course of treatment, but also the bone graft can be implanted. Appropriate weight-bearing to prevent bone resorption.

The most commonly used technique is maxillary sinus lift. This technique is generally integrated into the first-stage surgery for implantation and does not require additional operations. Secondly, the trauma in the maxillary sinus lift is not large, and the customer’s experience is no different from that of conventional implant surgery. The operating room uses a specific maxillary sinus lift device to lift the maxillary sinus by 1–4mm.

It can be seen that the maxillary sinus lift is painless. It should be noted whether bone grafting in maxillary sinus lift is related to the height of the lift!

Preoperative X-ray examination measures the bone height of the maxillary sinus floor. When the maxillary sinus floor bone height is greater than or equal to 5 mm, the maxillary sinus floor lifting bone graft and simultaneous implant placement can be used to obtain a good initial implant. Stabilize. Otherwise, the maxillary sinus floor should be lifted first, and the second-stage implant placement should be performed after the bone heals.

The key to the maxillary sinus lift technique:

The key lies in the complete and intact dissection and elevation of the maxillary sinus floor mucoperiosteal. It is clinically proven that the maxillary sinus lift is more difficult than the maxillary sinus lift with multiple adjacent teeth missing, because the roots of the natural teeth are often located in the maxillary sinus cavity in the maxillary sinus region, and the maxillary sinus mucosa surrounds the maxillary sinus cavity. The root of the tooth is irregular, and the floor of the maxillary sinus itself is uneven. When a single tooth is missing and the maxillary sinus lift is performed, the influence of the adjacent roots in the mesial and distal make it extremely difficult to strip the maxillary sinus mucosa completely and non-destructively. Therefore, it should be considered when selecting indications. The maxillary sinus lift technique is relatively more difficult to access a single missing tooth.
