Sinus Augmentation - a review (Paperback)

Paperback. The evolution of implant dentistry has expanded predictable rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxilla. However, long-term tooth loss is frequently associated with alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, resulting in inadequate bone volume for predictable implant placement. The close proximity of the maxillary sinus further increases the complexity of implant rehabilitation in this region.These anatomical limitations have led to the development and refinement of maxillary sinus augmentation, which has become an important treatment modality for increasing vertical bone height in the atrophic posterior maxilla. A thorough understanding of sinus anatomy, appropriate preoperative evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and precise surgical technique are essential for successful outcomes. Thus, implant dentistry has progressively shifted from adapting implant placement to the existing anatomy toward reconstructing deficient anatomy to facilitate predictable implant rehabilitation. Sinus augmentation represents an important advancement in this evolution, particularly for the atrophic posterior maxilla. This item is printed on demand.
