A sinus lift, a surgical intervention, targets augmenting bone volume in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw), particularly around premolar and molar tooth regions. This involves elevating the sinus membrane and inserting a bone graft.

Understanding the Process:

Following tooth loss, the alveolar process undergoes remodeling, resulting in a collapsed tooth socket. This collapse not only reduces bone height and width but also causes expansion of the maxillary sinus floor when molars or premolars are missing. Consequently, there’s a significant decrease in bone volume essential for dental implant integration. The sinus lift procedure aims to counter this by grafting additional bone into the maxillary sinus, providing ample support for dental implants.
