Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation

Simon Storgård Jensen

Following tooth loss, alveolar resorption and ongoing pneumatization of the maxillary sinus may lead to vertical and horizontal bone deficits in the posterior maxilla.

This deficit reduces the distance between the maxillary sinus floor and the alveolar process, so that reconstructing the vertical bone height by means of a sinus floor elevation procedure may be a prerequisite for placement of dental implants of the correct dimensions and in the ideal three-dimensional positions in order to achieve optimal functional and esthetic treatment outcomes while respecting relevant anatomical structures.
