If you have bone loss in the posterior area of the jaws, this procedure is the right one for your case.

1- Sinus lift:

By practical definition, the sinus lift elevation is the procedure which allow us to elevate the sinus membrane and perform the bone graft protocol in order to gain bone the necessary bone height and quantity to be able to place the needed dental implants at the graft site.

There are many techniques for sinus lift but the most simply known are:

Internal sinus lift:

This procedure is done for minor bone graft management and minor sinus elevation.

External sinus lift:

This procedure is indicated for major bone graft and sinus lift management.

2- Bone graft:

The bone graft is simply described by increasing both the quality and the quantity of the bone in order to regenerate the bone loss. There are several procedure for bone management and different products and approach, we will try to describe you in a very simple way according to indications and site of implantation:

a. Upper jaw:

Buccal plate reconstruction:

In the upper maxilla, regardless of the product used, the buccal wall reconstruction can be done either by a GBR or guided bone regeneration technique, or it could be done with a block bone graft.

Preservation of the alveolar bone after extraction:

This is very important for preserving the bone from resorption after extraction in order to have better aesthetic result.

b. Lower jaw:

Buccal plate reconstruction:

In the lower maxilla, regardless of the product used, the buccal wall reconstruction is highly recommended to be done with the block bone graft technique for severe cases, however the non resorbable Beta tricalcium phosphate or also known as "Easy Graft crystal" have proved its efficiency for minor buccal wall reconstruction in the lower jaw.

Preservation of the alveolar bone after extraction:

This is very important for preserving the bone from resorption after extraction in order to have better aesthetic result.

3- Bone graft materials:

From synthetic, to xenograft, to allograft to autogenous, Dr.Habib Zarifeh dental team surgeons recommend the use of Synthetic materials such as Easy Graft combined with the use of the autognous bone.
