Sinus Lift Bone Powder

What is Sinus Lift Surgery?

Dental implants are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth. However, in some individuals, the dentist may find through examination and X-rays that the jawbone cannot support the implant. For such cases, sinus lift surgery becomes essential. This procedure makes it easier to place the implant into the jawbone and reduces complications after implantation.

During the surgery, additional bone is placed between the molar and premolar areas to increase the amount of upper jawbone. To create sufficient space, the sinus membrane is lifted upward, which is why this procedure is called a sinus lift. Sinuses are air-filled cavities located above and behind the upper jaw. By grafting bone into these cavities, enough space is created for implant placement.

What Are the Types of Sinus Lift Surgery?

Depending on the location and extent of bone tissue loss, there are two types of sinus lift procedures. In both methods, the sinus membrane is elevated, and the cavity is filled with bone graft material. Below, we explain the differences between these two methods:

1. Open Sinus Lift Surgery
Most dentists use this method for sinus lift procedures. In this approach, an incision is made in the gum to expose the bone. A small opening is created in the bone, and bone graft material is inserted into the sinus cavity through this opening. After an open sinus lift, it typically takes 6 to 8 months before dental implants can be placed. This method causes more tissue trauma, and swelling or bruising may extend to areas under the eyes and even the neck.

2. Closed Sinus Lift Surgery
The closed sinus lift method is much less invasive to the gum tissue. The dentist creates a hole for implant placement, and through this same hole, special surgical tools are used to insert the bone graft material into the sinus cavity. In some cases, the implant can be placed on the same day as the closed sinus lift.

What Is the Difference Between Open and Closed Sinus Lift Surgery?
The main difference lies in the surgical approach. In an open sinus lift, an incision is made in the gum, resulting in greater trauma and side effects. However, in a closed sinus lift, a small hole, just large enough for the implant, is created, and bone graft material is inserted using specialized tools, leading to fewer complications.

When Should Sinus Lift and Implant Placement Not Be Done Simultaneously?

If there is a dental infection, both procedures should not be performed until the infection is treated.

What Is the Success Rate of Sinus Lift Surgery?

This procedure increases the longevity of dental implants, and its success rate, when performed by an experienced specialist, ranges between 85% to 95%.

Post-Sinus Lift Surgery Care: What to Do After the Procedure

One important post-surgery care tip after a sinus lift and implant procedure is to avoid blowing your nose or sneezing as much as possible. These actions can displace the bone graft material and disrupt stitches. To keep the nasal passages moist, the dentist may prescribe a saline spray. Additionally, to prevent congestion and inflammation, you will need to take prescribed medications.

Some pain after surgery is normal. Your dentist will provide pain relievers and antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. Antimicrobial mouthwash can also help prevent infections. For a specific period, you should avoid brushing your teeth, as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
