Crestal Approach Sinus Lift-Indirect Sinus Lift-A Case Report

Abstract

Aim: The main benefit of a one-stage crestal technique to maxillary sinus elevation is less morbidity. The capacity to maintain high primary implant stability in a severely atrophied ridge, on the other hand, is a major worry. The goal of this study is to compare and measure the success rate of implants implanted during crestal approach sinus lift in patients with RAB of less than 4 mm and RAB of more than 4 mm.

Background: Due to maxillary sinus pneumatization, placing endosseous implants in a posterior edentulous maxilla is typically a difficult procedure in implant dentistry. Various sinus augmentation methods with high success rates have been employed to prepare these locations for implant insertion. Knowledge of the anatomy of the maxillary sinus aids not only in correct preoperative treatment planning but also in avoiding potential issues during the sinus augmentation operation. This topic is attracting an increasing number of papers, with the majority of them providing findings indicating that patients with atrophic maxillae who require implant treatment can benefit significantly from sinus augmentation. This article describes use of LAS KIT for maxillary sinus elevation and augmentation, including indirect technique.
