Bone Grafting for Implant Success
Sinus lifting (open technique) is a surgical procedure that increases bone volume in the upper jaw, creating a stable foundation for dental implants. This method is used when the sinus floor is too low due to natural anatomy or bone loss, preventing implant placement.
The open sinus lift involves accessing the sinus cavity through a small opening in the jawbone. A bone graft (2cc) is placed beneath the sinus membrane, and a membrane is used to protect and stabilize the graft. Over time, the graft integrates with the natural bone, ensuring sufficient height and density for implant support.
This procedure is essential for patients with insufficient bone volume in the upper molar region, allowing for successful and long-lasting dental implant placement.
