Minimally Invasive Sinus Lift Through the Interradicular Septum

This study aims to describe a new approach for the reconstruction of the alveolar process in the sinus area. This minimally invasive approach will access the maxillary sinus through the alveolar process, elevating the sinus membrane in the area immediately above it. The regeneration may be achieved in the specific area required for dental implant placement, reducing the morbidity of the procedure.

Treatment and study plan

Interradicular septum window

Procedure

In this group, the maxillary sinus will be accessed through a window in the interradicular septum and the membrane will be elevated, carrying out the regeneration of the area to facilitate subsequent implant placement.

Primary outcomes

    Time frame: 9 months

    Bone height change

Secondary outcomes

  1. Bucco-palatal bone width

    Time frame: 9 months

    Bucco-palatal bone width change
