Patient Would Like to Avoid a Lateral Wall Sinus Lift: Advice for this Case?
Last Updated: Jul 30, 2012
I have a patient who I have treatment planned for placing implants in #4 [maxillary right second premolar ];15] and #12 [maxillary left first premolar;24]. Â Can I accomplish both of these with a Summer’s lift? Â I would like to use 10mm length implants. Â My patient would like to avoid a surgical lateral wall sinus lift. What procedure do you recommend here? Also, for #4 site, is there a problem with the thickened sinus lining that is present (patient doesn’t have any symptoms of sinusitis past or present)? I would appreciate advice on this case before I proceed. Please note that I’m a beginner at implant placement. Thanks for any comments.
