Combination of a surgical template and a collagen strip for guiding sinus floor elevation in the oblique sinus floor: A technical note - 15/09/23
Abstract |
Sinus floor elevation (SFE) by transcrestal approach has been proven to be a predictable and minimally invasive treatment that augments posterior maxilla with insufficient bone height, allowing the prosthetic rehabilitation of this area with dental implants. However, precise and sufficient elevation of the Schneiderian membrane without perforation is challenging through this blind technique especially in the presence of anatomical restrictions. This note describes a novel technique combining a surgical template and an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) strip for transcrestal SFE in the oblique sinus floor. A surgical template was used to locate the oblique sinus floor and a collagen strip was placed to orient membrane elevation, meanwhile, protect the sinus membrane. Within the limits of present observation, this technique may increase the manipuility while reducing the risk of complications.
