Using Absorbable Gelatin Sponge to Facilitate Sinus Membrane Elevation during Open Sinus Lift: Technical Notes and Case Series
Authors
Abstract:
Ridge atrophy accompanied by the pneumatization of maxillary sinus in the maxillary posterior region may lead to inadequate bone height, thereby precluding implant placement. Therefore, it may be mandatory to perform a sinus membrane elevation procedure and augmentation in the bone. The present study aimed to introduce a novel modification method for sinus floor elevation using a gelatin sponge (Gelatamp, COLTÈNE ROEKO, India) in order for better visualization, hemostasis, and conservative maxillary sinus membrane dissection with the low risk of complications. Implant placement was performed in a case series of 28 patients with hyperpneumatized sinus or a moderately resorbed posterior maxillary alveolus. According to the findings, implant placement caused no complications in the patients. Furthermore, none of the patients experienced infections, sinusitis or graft and implant failure clinically and radiographically at the three- and six-month follow-up. Therefore, it could be concluded that gelatamp-assisted sinus lift is a simple, safe, noninvasive, and innovative technique for sinus membrane elevation. In addition, it is predictable and efficient, especially in the cases where piezoelectric surgery armamentarium is not available.

Introduction In the posterior maxillary sextants, insertion of implants of desired length and diameter is often limited by the dimensional alterations of the residual ridge as well as the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus occurring after tooth loss. Transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) represents a surgical option to vertically enhance the available bone in the posterior maxillary sext...

Introduction After the loss of teeth in the posterior maxilla, the thickness or vertical height between the alveolar crest and maxillary sinus may be insufficient to place dental implants. At present, maxillary sinus lifting has become a widely used technique for augmenting bone tissue volume in the maxilla. Various surgical techniques can be applied to achieve a sufficient bone volume in order...

Implants have a predictable outcome and are the foremost treatment modality for prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients. Due to loss of bone after extraction and pneumatization of maxillary sinus, there is insufficient bone volume for implant placement. The direct maxillary sinus lift procedure has been performed with different grafting materials (autogenous bone grafts, alloplasts, al...

BACKGROUND Nowadays, there are many techniques to compensate bone atrophies of the posterior maxilla in order to obtain an implant-supported rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE This case series describes the Ebanist technique: a sinus lift procedure to be used in case of extremely resorbed bone crests (≤3 mm) allowing simultaneous implant placement. METHODS With a dedicated cylindrical trephine bur, ...
