Minimally Invasive Sinus Lift Through the Interradicular Septum

Universidad de Murcia20 enrolled

Overview

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.

Interventions

Interradicular septum windowPROCEDURE

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.
