Maxillary sinus lift using osteotomes: An indirect approach for implant placement in atrophic posterior maxilla
Keywords:
implant, indirect sinus lift, early loading, posterior maxillaAbstract
The maxillary posterior edentulous region presents many challenges in implant dentistry. Deficient alveolar ridges often jeopardize the placement of implants in posterior maxilla. This problem mostly occurs when due to ridge resorption, sinus pneumatization is encountered. The procedure of choice is the elevation of the floor of the sinus with the use of the osteotome technique so as to increase the alveolar ridge height for the placement of implant. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate indirect maxillary sinus lift procedure through alveolar crest using osteotomes to prevent perforation of sinus lining during implant placement and restoring the implants using early loading protocol.
