In such cases we first go for bone augmentation. That is, we raise bone in the jawbone and place the implant either in the same session or in later sessions. We generally perform this sinus lifting method in 2 ways; this depends on the height of the bone. If our patient has about 4-5 millimeters, that is, about 5 millimeters of bone, we do a sinus lift with the closed technique and place our implant in the same session. We can do this during the procedure with special drills and osteotomes.
After the implant socket is opened in the sinus region, after drilling, we lift the sinus floor membrane with special instruments and place our implant. This gives us convenience during the procedure. We lift the sinus membrane and, in cases where necessary, put bone powder in between and place the implant. Sometimes we place the implant without putting bone powder. The advantage of this is that there is both patient comfort during the procedure and we can place the implant in the same session.
