Maxillary Sinus Lift : Procedure and Cost in Patna

Abstract

A maxillary sinus lift procedure is indicated if a dental implant needs to be placed in the posterior maxilla with limited bone available to accommodate a dental implant. Both open and closed sinus lifting procedures are reliable approaches for increasing the bone volume needed to support proper implant positioning. 

When teeth are missing in the back of the upper jaw, the sinus air spaces can play an important part in treatment planning. Once a tooth has been removed, the bone height shrinks, which can result in a sinus bone graft being required before an implant can be placed.

Maxillary Sinus Lift Procedure at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic

Maxillary Sinus Lift is small surgical procedure done under local anaesthesia.  Access is gained through the gum into the sinus and this allows bone graft material to be placed.  We use an ultra-purified animal-derived product which originates from bovine (cow) bone.  It has been used across the world for over 20 years, on more than 10 million patients and is considered completely safe.  It acts as a temporary scaffold allowing your own bone to repair and regenerate itself.  The bone graft material is covered by another animal-derived product which is porcine (pig) collagen and this protects the bone graft for the first few weeks while it is healing and is essential for successful regeneration of the missing bone.  There are alternatives if you choose not to have animal products, but the scientific literature strongly supports this group of materials as the “gold standard”.

The graft provides the required bone material to allow for implant placement and needs between 5 and 9 months to heal, before the implant can then be placed as a separate procedure.

Why Maxillary Sinus Lift needed:

The sinuses, air-filled cavities in the upper jaw, can expand over time, especially after tooth loss, reducing the amount of bone available for implant placement.

 
How Maxillary Sinus Lift  done:

A small incision is made in the gum, exposing the bone. A portion of the sinus membrane is then lifted, creating space for bone graft material to be added. 

Bone grafting :

The bone graft material is typically taken from the patient's own body (autograft), from a donor (allograft), or from other sources (xenograft or alloplast). It acts as a scaffold for new bone growth.

 
Healing period after Maxillary Sinus Lift :

The bone graft needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone, typically 4 to 12 months, before implant placement. 

Implant placement:

On some occasions, where there is still some height of bone remaining, implant placement can be completed at the same time as the sinus graft.  This has the advantage of only requiring a single operation and usually a shorter healing period of between 4 and 6 months.

If no or very less bone is left during sinus lift procedure, It takes 6 to 9 months to merge bone graft marerial and Once the bone has healed, the implant can be placed.

 
One-stage vs. two-stage:

In some cases, the implant can be placed simultaneously with the sinus lift procedure (one-stage), while in others, the implant is placed at a later stage (two-stage). 

Success rate:

Sinus lift surgeries have a high success rate, with many studies reporting rates between 85% and 97%.
