Maxillary Sinus Lift With and Without Self-hardening Biphasic Calcium Phosphate.

Incision was performed in the canine area then a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was elevated and exposure of the lateral aspect of the maxillary sinus. Osteotomy of the buccal window was performed using the piezosurgery device followed by meticulous dissection of the sinus membrane. Drilling the site were implants were to be placed, guided by the preformed surgical stent. Implants of appropriate size were torqued to engage the apical aspect of the implant recipient site. The sinus was augmented with moldable self-hardening biphasic calcium phosphate. Repositioning and suturing of the flap using 3-0 black silk suture material.

A pyramidal full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was performed distal to the canine area with a crestal incision located palatally in the edentulous area and vertical extension of the incision to the buccal vestibule using Bard Parker blade number 15. The flap was reflected exposing the alveolar bone. Lateral window was performed and the sinus membrane was elevated using piezo surgery. Drilling at the sites where implants were to be placed was done using Neobiotech implant drilling Kit. Implants. Implants were placed in a self-tapping fashion using a torque wrench. Flaps were replaced back and sutured using 3-0 black silk suture material.
