Abstract

The problem of low alveolar recessus of maxillar sinus is the most frequent limiting factor when implanting dental implants in distal portions of the maxilla. The aim of the sinus lift procedure is to gain enough alveolar bone in vertical dimension.There are several methods of sinus lift operation. In this presentation two of the most often used methods are described and compared on the basis of own clinical experience. First is the so-called, classic opened method via vestibular approach to the frontal wall of the maxilla, followed by the trepanation of bone and preparation of sinus mucosa, augmentation of the sinus floor and immediate implantation of the dental implant. Second is the so-called, closed method of transalveolar condensation of sinus floor via implant preparation in the alveolar ridge, using special bone condensors. The implant is positioned in the same procedure.One patient treated by classic opened method and 5 more treated by closed transalveolar mehod are presented. The surgical procedures are described for both methods. The advantages and disadvantages are debated.The conclusion of this presentation is that both methods are of equal clinical value and complementary in many ways. It is necessary to be well trained in using both methods when dealing with advanced dental implantology.
