Clinical Maxillary Sinus Elevation Surgery 1st Edition

Maxillary Sinus Elevation: Techniques and Protocols

Maxillary sinus elevation, followed by the placement of various grafting materials, is the widely accepted surgical protocol for promoting bone development in the sinus cavity. Over the years, numerous techniques for maxillary sinus elevation have emerged, differing in surgical approach, graft materials, and the application of advanced technologies for managing hard and soft tissues.

Dr. Kao and a team of experts begin by discussing the relevant anatomy and the applications and limitations of radiographic imaging. They then provide detailed, step-by-step clinical procedures for the lateral window technique, including piezosurgery, as well as trans-alveolar methods such as balloon elevation and controlled hydostatic sinus elevation. The book also includes chapters on post-operative care and management of complications.

Special Features:

• A decision tree for sinus elevation surgery
