\u00a0Sinus Lift Surgery<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><b>Why Sinus lift Surgery?<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\nWe suggest a Sinus lift surgery to<br \/>\npatients who do not have proper bone height to fit the dental implants in the upper jaw.<br \/>\nSome patients have sinuses very close to their upper jaw which hurdles the dental implants.<\/p>\n<p>Some reasons that insist for Sinus lift surgery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the bone is lost due to periodontal (gum) diseases.<\/li>\n<li>Tooth loss may have led to bone loss as the body starts reabsorbing the bone if it has been long time you lost your tooth, then there might not be enough bone for doing dental implants process.<\/li>\n<li>shape and size of sinus vary from person to person, if the maxillary sinus is too close to the upper jaw line, sinus lift surgery is needed.<\/li>\n<li>There are chances where sinus grows in size with age.<\/li>\n<li>Naturally, back portion of the upper jaw has less bone when compared to lower jaw so to add extra bone sinus lift surgery is needed.<\/li>\n<li>Due to some injury on the jaw portion of the face.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><b>Sinus Lift Procedure:<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\nThere are two approaches for Sinus lift procedure one is Direct (Lateral window technique) and the other is Indirect (Osteotome technique)<br \/>\n<strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><b>Direct (Lateral window technique):<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\nInitially, surgeon gets to the area of back teeth cuts the gum tissue and raises the tissue up which exposes the bone of sinus.<br \/>\nAn oval shaped window which is very small is opened on one side of the bone, this exposes a membrane lining called Schneiderian membrane.<br \/>\nThe window made by the surgeon separates your jaw from the sinus membrane.<br \/>\nSurgeon pushes this membrane upward, away from the jaw very gently and creates space for the extra bone.<br \/>\nGranules of bone are pouched in the empty space where the sinus was and puts back the bone in its place.<br \/>\nCloses the raised tissue with stitches.<br \/>\nAddition of the size of bone differs from patient to patient and depends on the requirement.<br \/>\nMaterials use to form the additional bone are either one of these, synthetic variants, autograft, allograft, Xenograft, an Alloplast or combination of all these.<br \/>\nAfter this procedure it takes four to nine months to place the dental implants.<br \/>\nThis time gap depends on the size of the bone added and allows the granules to mesh up with the existing bone and heal.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Indirect (Osteotome Technique):<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\nSurgeon will flap back the gum tissue, makes a socket in the bone till it reaches the sinus membrane.<br \/>\nThe sinus membrane is now lifted up using Osteotome (instrument use to cut bones beveled on both sides).<br \/>\nGranules of bone are placed in the empty space created after lifting up the sinus membrane.<br \/>\nSurgeon closes the incision.<br \/>\nIt takes four to eight months of time for the newly placed bone to merge with the existing bone.<br \/>\nThis technique is used when the sinus floor needs to be lifted for less than 4mm and it increases the malleability (quality of a thing that can be shaped into something without breaking).<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes surgeons perform both the techniques and dental implants surgery simultaneously to avoid the surgery for multiple times.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_903\" style=\"width:

Procedure<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><b>Risks:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For any surgical procedures, infections are a big risk which is rare in this case, do take antibiotics to avoid infections.<\/li>\n<li>During the procedure the sinus membrane may get affected that is, it may be punctured or torn out.<\/li>\n<li>In such cases surgeon will either stitch or place a patch on the torn\/worn part, this repair might be successful or unsuccessful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the sinus membrane is healed, doctor will redo the sinus lift procedure after confirming the strength of the membrane.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sometimes the extra bone placed might not merge with the existing bone, this happens very rarely, and dental implant procedure will fail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In such cases the sinus lift procedure can be repeated.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Sinus lift aftereffects<\/b><\/strong>:<br \/>\nYou should contact your doctor immediately if you observe these aftereffects of the surgery:<br \/>\nIf the bleeding does not stop even after one to two days after the surgery.<br \/>\nGenerally, pain and swelling should decrease within couple of days, but if there is limitless pain even after first two days and last for long time.<br \/>\nYou will develop fever and cold.<br \/>\nIf you feel like the bone is knocked out of the place when you sneeze or blow out your nose.<br \/>\nBlood bleeds in dark red color, oozes out slowly with possible clots.<br \/>\n<strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><b>Precautions:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not sneeze or blow out your nose forcefully as it may loosen the stitches.<\/li>\n<li>Doctors give saline sprays to keep the inner lining of the nose wet.<\/li>\n<li>Follow medications strictly to prevent inflammation, pain, congestion.<\/li>\n<li>Use the doctor\u2019s prescribed antimicrobial mouth washes, antibiotics on time to prevent any sort of infections.<br \/>\nSee your dental doctor after seven to ten days, he\/she will remove the stitches if they do not dissolve themselves and check the healing status.<\/li>\n<li>Doctor will ask you to visit for few more times to ensure it is healing properly.<\/li>\n<li>Some surgeons use protein supplements for the growth of bone harder and faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, Human-recombinant bone morphogenetic protein is approved by The U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use it during sinus lift procedure.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Conclusion:<\/b><\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have any missing tooth or lost all the teeth, to avoid Sinus lift surgery act immediately in deciding if you want to have the dental implants or not, because the longer you take to decide lesser is the availability of bone for dental implants.<br \/>\nIf you undergo sinus lift surgery, proper after care has to be taken else the procedure will be a failure and the whole process has to be repeated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sinus Lift
