In addition, it is crucial at which point in the mouth (upper jaw, lower jaw, front or side tooth area) the bone deficit exists.

The implant manufacturer Implant Direct invited dentists and implantologists to the Ladies Night in Dusseldorf yesterday. During the two-hour event, oral surgeon Dr. Friederike Ratschow, MSc, on "Sinus lift - When and how?".

The focus of her presentation was on structured treatment in the difficult maxillary posterior region. The implantologist described the procedure for lateral and internal sinus lift on the basis of many illustrative and interesting cases. "More and more patients come to us in the practice and want solid dentures. We can not avoid dealing with the topic of bone augmentation and sinus lift if we want to fulfill their wishes! "

A clear recommendation from Ratschow was to have a DVT scan taken during preoperative planning and diagnostics. Some anatomical peculiarities could only be diagnosed as follows: "If, for example, the angle between the buccal and medial wall of the sinus is very small, ruptures of the Schneiderian membrane can occur more quickly," warned Ratschow. This can only be diagnosed using a 3D image.

Sinus lift has more than 95 percent chance of success. Even in the event that a septum complicates the procedure, Ratschow had a clear recommendation: "If you come across a septum in the external access, you can proceed with the help of two windows. Alternatively, a kidney-shaped window can be prepared. Piezosurgery reduces the risk of membrane perforation and is recommended here for the preparation. "Finally, Ratschow still had good news for the participants:" The chances of success in sinus lift (lateral as well as internal) are over 95 percent. "

"The feedback from the participants shows that our concept is accepted. One can imagine that there is always self-doubt, if you go a new way. But now we can say: a successful kick-off for our Ladies Night event series in Germany", says Manuela Lutiger, Head of Marketing at Implant Direct.
