Levantamento do seio maxilar: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Increasingly dental implants are gaining prominence in oral rehabilitation, replacing one or more teeth, however, for the installation of dental implants it is necessary to carry out imaging exams, in order to analyze bone availability, which is fundamental for the feasibility of the procedure. However, in some cases, bone availability is unsatisfactory, early tooth loss and systemic disorders associated with poor oral hygiene, result in gradual bone resorption, combined with structural changes in the patient's function and aesthetics. An example is the early loss of dental elements in the posterior region of the maxilla, which in most cases is associated with the occurrence of pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses. Lifting of the maxillary sinus is a reconstructive surgical technique, usually used in situations in which the patient has little bone due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and wants to be rehabilitated with dental implants. The objective of this work is to carry out a literature review, about lifting the maxillary sinus.
