Sinus lift surgeries

Sinus lift surgery, also known as sinus augmentation, is a procedure that increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw, particularly in the posterior maxilla, to support dental implants. It is commonly performed when there is insufficient bone height due to sinus pneumatization or bone resorption following tooth loss.

Complications :

• Sinus Membrane Perforation: Most common complication, managed with membrane repair techniques.
• Infection: Rare but possible; requires antibiotic therapy.
• Graft Resorption or Failure: Insufficient bone integration may delay implant placement.
• Sinusitis: Postoperative inflammation of the sinus cavity.

Sinus lift surgery is a highly effective procedure for enhancing bone volume in the posterior maxilla to facilitate implant placement. Proper patient selection, meticulous surgical technique, and post-operative care are essential for successful outcomes.
