\n\t Implantation is the replacement of a lost tooth with an artificial tooth. In order for the implant to function like a natural tooth, it must be securely anchored. Unfortunately, once we lose a tooth, the bone tissue begins to decline. Over time, the atrophy becomes so pronounced that there is simply nowhere to insert the metal post, there is not enough room for it.<\/p>\n

\n\t In the upper jaw, bone loss is accompanied by the lowering of the maxillary sinus membrane. As a result, there is not enough bone volume, and there is a risk of the membrane rupturing during surgery.<\/p>\n

\n\t Dentists have developed a method of bone grafting, which raises the wall of the maxillary sinus. They called it sinus lifting, from the words “sinus” (maxillary sinus) and “lift”.<\/p>\n

What is a sinus elevator for implantation?<\/h2>\n

\n\t The main task of sinus lifting is to ensure sufficient bone volume for implant placement.<\/p>\n

\n\t The essence of the method is that when the sinus shell is raised, a cavity is formed. It is filled with bone material, which serves as a base for the installation of a metal pin.<\/p>\n

\n\t Bone grafting is performed in two ways: open and closed.<\/p>\n
