An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed by creating an access hole from the side of the sinus cavity intraorally and carefully elevating or lifting of the sinus or schneiderian membrane. Once lifted, a mixture of autogenous bone (autograft) along with bone substitute material (BSM) is placed under

An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed followed by the placement of bone grafting material. Next, a dental implant along with the restorative components (implant abutment and crown) are placed to complete the overall treatment for this particular implant site.

A sinus lift is performed through a “lateral window” created at the level of the sinus cavity. The sinus or schneiderian membrane is then elevated and bone grafting material is added to the area of the proposed dental implant site. The dental implant is then placed and allowed to heal.

This patient has been missing most of his upper teeth for many years now and as a result does not have an adequate amount of bone for dental implants to fulfill the criteria of a full-arch implant prosthesis. Therefore, bilateral sinus lifts or sinus elevations, ridge splitting procedures, and bone

The patient lacks adequate bone height for placement of dental implants in the posterior region in the upper arch on the right side. Therefore, a sinus elevation (or sinus lift) via an external approach is required to allow the placement of bone graft material for the intention of generating new

A patient lacks the necessary bone to support dental implants in the upper left quadrant and therefore requires a bone augmentation procedure. A bone bone block graft is harvested from the patient’s lower jaw (donor site) and 2 bone block veneers (aka bone shields, bone shells, bone blades or bone

This particular patient wishes to get a implant in the molar region but unfortunately, does not have enough bone to support it. Currently, the amount of bone in the vertical dimension that the patient has is 2 mm. Therefore, an increase in bone volume must be established first before an implant
