Sinus lift surgery is a surgical procedure performed on patients who do not have sufficient bone height before dental implant treatment. This surgery aims to provide sufficient bone support for implants to be placed on the teeth in the back area of the upper jaw. As a result of the expansion of the sinus cavity, the appropriate amount of bone to place an implant may not be available, especially in cases where the upper jaw bone structure is inadequate. Sinus lifting surgery is a safe and effective method to solve this problem.
This process can be applied to anyone. But in some cases there may be exceptions. These conditions may prevent sinus lifting surgery. This procedure performed for the implant helps the unsuitable dental bones gain volume and become suitable.
The bone structure of the person must be suitable for the sinus lifting surgical procedure. People need to complete tooth and bone growth. Since the incomplete bone structure may complete itself in the future, it is not desired to damage the structure.
This surgical procedure is performed on people over the age of twenty, as well as on people who have completed their tooth and bone development. For this procedure, if the patient has any allergic or chronic disease, the patient must inform the dentist and surgeon in advance.
Sinus lift surgery aims to create sufficient bone volume in the back areas of the upper jaw for dental implant placement. There are different techniques for this surgery, and the method to be chosen depends on the patient's needs and the condition of the jawbone.
Lateral Sinus Lift Surgery is the preferred method for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. In this technique, a lateral window is opened into the sinus cavity to access the sinus membrane, the membrane is carefully lifted and a bone graft is placed.
It provides the opportunity to create larger bone volume. This is a suitable method for patients with advanced bone loss.
Internal Sinus Lift Surgery is a less invasive method and is generally suitable for patients with mild bone loss. In this technique, the sinus membrane is accessed directly from the implant socket during dental implant placement.
It is less invasive and has a shorter recovery period.
It is suitable for patients with mild bone loss.
Crestal Sinus Lift is another method used in the implant placement process and is generally applied to patients with minimal bone height loss. In this technique, the sinus membrane is accessed from the upper part of the implant socket.
Things to consider after sinus lifting surgery are important for a smooth recovery process and a successful result.
Use antibiotics prescribed by your doctor regularly to prevent the risk of infection.
You can take painkillers recommended by your doctor to control the pain that may occur after surgery.
Mouthwashes: You should ensure your oral hygiene by using antiseptic mouthwashes recommended by your doctor.
Rest for the first few days after surgery. Elevating your head while lying down can help reduce swelling and pain.
Avoid heavy exercises and physical activities for the first week after surgery. Avoid lifting weights, bending and sudden movements.
Eat soft and warm foods for the first few days. Avoid hard, spicy, hot or extremely cold foods.
Ensure your body is sufficiently hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
To avoid damaging the surgical area, brush your teeth gently, staying away from the surgery area for the first few days.
Reduce the risk of infection by using antiseptic mouthwashes recommended by your doctor.
Smoking can negatively affect the healing process and increase the risk of infection. You should not smoke after surgery. Alcohol consumption can also negatively affect the healing process. Avoid alcohol consumption after surgery.
