Subantral (sinus) augmentation procedures have been part of part of our surgical armamentarium sinus the mid 1980’s. Since that time clinical and scientific research has led to changes in both surgical technique and our decision-making relating to grafting materials, implant surfaces, and timing.

These changes have resulted in lateral window and trans crestal sinus elevation techniques that have a lower complication rates, reduced morbidity, and shorter treatment times.

 

This presentation will discuss the evolution of grafting materials and surgical techniques as well as complication avoidance and management. It will demonstrate why the sinus elevation procedure has become a mainstream predictable procedure that allows us to restore fixed or more stable removable solutions for our edentulous or partially edentulous patients.

 

Educational objectives:

1. Learn how decision-making in diagnosis and treatment options affects surgical outcomes

2. See the latest surgical techniques

3. Understand the relevance of sinus elevation as a predictable treatment modality
