What is Sinus Lifting?
Sinus lifting surgery is a procedure to add bone mass into the upper jawbone to ensure successful implantation of dental implants by replacing back molars. Sinus augmentation involves lifting the sinus membrane into the sinus cavity to make room for a bone graft in the jawbone. Sinus lift surgery is performed by a periodontist or maxillofacial surgeon.
A Good Candidate for Sinus Lifting
Patients who are good candidates for dental implants are if there is not enough jawbone or if the sinuses are too close to the jawbone for the implants to be inserted. The jawbone may be insufficient to support implants due to bone re-absorption following tooth loss or tooth extraction, the structure of the jawbone or bone loss caused by gum disease.
Sinus Lifting Procedure
Sinus lift procedures involve lifting the sinus membranes and inserting a bone graft into the upper jaw to increase the depth of the jawbone. Periodontists make an incision in the gum line of the upper jaw and pull the gum back to reveal the jawbone near the back molars. A section of this bone is cut to make a hinge used to push the sinus membrane into the sinus cavity.
The empty space remaining where the sinus membrane was is filled with a bone graft. The dental implant can be placed into the extra bone mass.
Sinus augmentation procedures are completed in 1-3 hours depending on the amount of grafted bone that is added.
Risks and Side Effects of Sinus Lifting
Sinus augmentation surgeries carry the risk of puncturing the sinus membrane. If the sinus membrane is thin and tears during the procedure the periodontist will seal the puncture and the sinus augmentation procedure may be postponed until the tear heals. All dental surgeries carry the risk of infection and antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent this. A rare complication of sinus augmentation is failure of the bone graft.
Recovery from Sinus Lifting
Patients are anaesthetized for sinus augmentation procedures. Following the procedure the nose and upper jaw may be sore as the swelling subsides.
Immediately following surgery there may be some bleeding slight swelling along the upper gum line and nose. This will stop a few hours after surgery and swelling will reduce within a week. The sutures used to seal the incisions will be removed 7 days post-surgery.
Periodontists will occasionally insert dental implants into the jaw bone at the same time as the sinus lifting procedure. However, it is usually recommended that dental patients wait for the bone graft to fuse to the original jawbone before the implants are inserted. Fusion of the bone graft and the jaw bone can take up to 9 months.
Occasionally dentists will mix plasma taken from your blood with the bone graft to speed up the healing process and encourage the new bone to harden and fuse with the patients' jawbone.
Results of Sinus Lifting
Sinus lifting procedures are usually successful the first time and the results will last a lifetime. Sinus augmentation will be repeated if the dental bone graft fails resulting in a failed dental implant procedure, however this is rare.
