Sinus lifting is a dental treatment method that is included in bone grafting operations.
Sinus Lifting Dental Treatment
Sinus lifting dental treatment operation is a type of bone augmentation operation. With this procedure, the bone is expanded and strengthened. As it is known, there are 2 sinus cavities in the upper jaw of humans, one on the right and one on the left. In some cases - usually occurring due to anatomical reasons and bone loss - these cavities are close to the bones where the teeth are located. If implants are to be placed in these areas, special surgical procedures must be applied for these cavities. Through the sinus lifting procedure, the cavity is pushed back together with the sinus membrane, and graft material is placed in the remaining area. This procedure usually takes about 20-25 minutes. The doctor sees the area in 3D before the procedure and then performs the operation.
