AI Article Synopsis
- The maxillary posterior area often lacks enough dense bone for dental implant placement due to sinus issues and bone loss.
- A maxillary sinus lift can help increase bone height to support implants.
- The article focuses on how to prevent and manage complications that may arise during or after the sinus lift procedure.
Article Abstract
The maxillary posterior edentulous region presents a challenge when planning for restoring missing teeth with a dental implant. The available bone in such cases is often not dense and not adequate for the placement of a properly sized implant because of maxillary sinus pneumatization and alveolar bone loss. Maxillary sinus lift is a predictable procedure to provide adequate bone height for the purpose of implant placement. However, complications are encountered during or after the execution of the sinus lift procedure. In this article, the prevention and management of maxillary sinus complications are discussed.
