Maxillary Sinus Augmentation for Dental Implants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pneumatization of the maxillary sinus secondary to posterior maxillary tooth loss is an extremely common finding. Significant atrophy of the maxilla prevents dental implant placement in this region. Grafting the floor of the maxillary sinus has emerged as the most common surgical modality for correcting this inadequacy. Graft material is introduced into the space created inferior to the sinus membrane. Various grafting materials and techniques might be used in this procedure. The aim of this article is to review the essentials of maxillary sinus augmentation, clarify this procedure for otolaryngologists, explain its function, and describe the augmentation materials, techniques, and complications.

Maxillary sinus augmentation has been shown to be a predictable treatment option for placing dental implants in areas of posterior maxilla with lack of sufficient residual alveolar bone height.1 The transalveolar (crestal) and the lateral window are the main techniques for the maxillary sinus augmentation with the goal of creating a space beneath the Schneiderian membrane in which to place vari...

The placement of dental implants in the distal edentulous maxillary region is challenging due to the significant resorption following tooth extraction and the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus (Tadjoedin et al., 2003). Maxillary sinus augmentation is a well-established procedure for functional rehabilitation of partially or completely edentulous patients, as demonstrated by Boyne and James ...

Pneumatization of maxillary sinus causes insufficient vertical bone volume on posterior maxilla. So the restoration of edentulous posterior maxilla with dental implants is challenging due to a deficient posterior alveolar ridge, unfavorable bone quality and increased pneumatization of the maxillary sinus.1 For maxillary sinus augmentation, the crestal approach and the lateral window approach ha...

Introduction: Asymptomatic displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus after a transcrestal sinus augmentation is a rare complication that can occur when there is poor bone quality and minimal residual bone height. Patient compliance with postoperative appointments and failure to comply with denture-wearing instructions are critical contributing factors. To the best of the authors’...
