Description
Trans-crestal Approach Sinus Augmentation: Overcoming Common Vertical Ridge Deficiency in the Posterior Maxilla
Course Overview:
In the posterior maxilla, residual bone height is limited by the presence of the sinus and often plays a key factor in the placement of dental implants. A sinus lift is the ideal approach (when evaluating an atrophic maxillary ridge with deficiency in vertical height) to build additional bone in order to place a solid and stable implant. The gaining popularity of the trans-crestal sinus lift makes this option more accessible than ever .
The trans-crestal sinus approach to sinus lift surgery is a less invasive technique than traditional approaches of elevating the sinus membrane for dental implant placement in the maxillary region. New techniques and tools help the clinician to minimize perforation of the sinus membrane. Patients benefit greatly from the trans-crestal sinus approach as this less traumatic method promotes a shorter healing time than lateral window approaches.
Learning Objectives:
This presentation provides an opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge base and clinical skills to allow for management of simple maxillary sinus cases. Through the use of lecture and participation activities doctors will learn how to perform the trans-crestal augmentation technique and build up bone in the posterior maxilla. Emphasis will be placed on simple and practical approaches to place dental implants simultaneously with sinus lift on flat or inclined sinus floor.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your practice and elevate patient outcomes.
