Beschreibung
Edentulism is a condition that keeps many people from feeling their best. It not only affects the self-confidence but also has a dramatic impact on the quality of life. Dental implants have gained popularity for treating edentulism, but some patients develop jaw atrophy, which leaves insufficient bone for implants. There have been a plethora of advances in pre-implant surgeries for augmentation of bone to incorporate implants, one of them being the sinus lift procedure. For more than 30 years, the sinus lift technique has been a mainstay for maxillary implant directed oral rehabilitation in atrophic maxilla. It involves raising the sinus floor and augmentation of bone for subsequent implant placement. This book is a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of maxillary sinus augmentation including anatomy, physiology of the sinus, indications for surgery, pre-operative evaluation, various surgical techniques and modifications of these techniques along with management of complications.
