Crestal vs Lateral Sinus Lift?
Last Updated: May 13, 2020
This case involves a 47-year old healthy female who wants an implant in the #3 area. Consideration is between crestal vs lateral sinus lift. Sloping sinus floor with 4 mm bone distal and 6 mm bone mesial. I would need at least 6 mm of sinus augmentation to allow a 9mm long 5mm width implant. I would be more comfortable in this case with a lateral sinus lift. I would like the opinion of other expert surgeons. Thank you. LG
