Short implants VS sinus lift
In the upper premolar-molar region, due to bone atrophy following tooth extraction and presence of maxillary sinus, placement dental implants become more difficult. For this reason, to restore the vertical bone loss, sinus lifting is the most common performed surgical procedure. Due to surgical complications, infection may develop which may extend the duration of the treatment and result in loss of dental implants. The use of short implants instead of sinus lifting procedure has come to the fore in order to eliminate the surgical complications, shorten the treatment time and reduce costs. Although studies conducted in recent years have achieved similar results between rehabilitation with short implants instead of placing standard implants by performing a sinus lift, failure may occur with short implants due to incorrect indications, biological and mechanical complications. Compliance with certain surgical and prosthetic rules when applying short implants will increase the chance of success.
This presentation aims to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using short implants instead of sinus lifting.
Learning objectives
- Can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using short implants instead of sinus lifting.
- Knows the points to be taken into consideration when using short implants.
- Can explain the complications that may develop due to the sinus lifting procedure and the use of short implants.
Sinus Lifting A to Z
Severe vertical bone deficiency is observed in the maxillary posterior region due to bone atrophy that develops after tooth extraction and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. For this reason, achieving an implant-supported prosthesis becomes difficult and failure increases. The most commonly used surgical method to eliminate vertical bone loss in this area is sinus lifting. Sinus lifting method is classified as open (direct) and closed (osteotome) method, depending on the residual alveolar bone height in the patient. Closed sinus lift technique is a method that is used in cases with a bone height of at least 4-5 mm and has a lower complication rate. The open lift technique is a more complicated method and has a higher complication rate than the closed method. Different bone grafts and membranes can be used during the sinus lifting procedure. In recent years, some new developments have been identified in sinus lifting techniques and the biomaterials used.
The purpose of this presentation is to explain sinus lifting techniques and their complications, to discuss both biomaterials used and recent technical developments.
Learning objectives
- Can explain sinus lifting techniques and their complications.
- Describes the biomaterials used in sinus lifting
- Knows new developments in sinus lifting techniques and biomaterials used.
