Implant teeth need to lift the maxillary sinus internally and externally, which means that the height of bone is insufficient, so the maxillary sinus needs to be improved; This article explains in detail why dental implants need to improve the maxillary sinus, indications and prices

What is maxillary sinus elevation?

This sinus is actually what we often call a hole. Our mandible is basically solid, and the middle of the maxilla is hollow. There is a large cavity in the middle, called the maxillary sinus. The maxillary sinus is close to the maxillary molars, and the relationship between them is very close.

When the maxillary posterior teeth are missing, the bottom wall of the maxillary sinus will descend to the original root of the missing teeth. At this point, once implanted, it is possible to penetrate the maxillary sinus wall. In order to implant, it is necessary to transplant some synthetic bone substitutes and lift them to the original position to ensure that the implant is implanted in the maxilla. This procedure is called maxillary sinus elevation.

Why should the maxillary sinus be elevated during dental implantation?

● Maxillary posterior teeth are not high enough to implant teeth

Alveolar bone is an important part of implant surgery. Planting depends on our bone mass. The height of bone is enough to prevent implant implantation and ensure 8mm bone. Therefore, before dental implantation, it is necessary to improve the maxillary sinus to increase bone mass.

except The time of missing teeth is too long. Some people are born with large maxillary sinuses. Even the left and right maxillary sinuses of the same person are different. Therefore, we do not have enough bone height to install the root, so we must use the space of the maxillary sinus to help fix the teeth.

● Indications for maxillary sinus elevation

1. Molars and premolars are missing, and alveolar ridge is extremely atrophic. The bone mass from the base of the maxillary sinus to the alveolar ridge is 10mm, and the implants need to be planted in this area.

2. The jaw spacing of the maxillary and mandibular alveoli is within the allowable range of denture repair. If the jaw spacing is too long, bone grafting is required on the alveolar ridge; If the jaw spacing is too long, the upper jaw retracts, and the front teeth react

Therefore, in order to prevent the alveolar bone from contracting or falling, you must seek medical advice in time after tooth loss! The reference price of maxillary sinus elevation is 2000 yuan, Come to the hospital specifically!
