Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (also termed sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus augmentation or sinus procedure) is a surgical procedure which aims to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw bone), in the area of the premolar and molar teeth, by lifting the lower Schneiderian membrane (sinus membrane) and placing a bone graft [2]. When a tooth is lost the alveolar process begins to remodel. The vacant tooth socket collapses as it heals leaving an edentulous (toothless) area, termed a ridge [3]. This collapse causes a loss in both height and width of the surrounding bone. In addition, when a maxillary molar or premolar is lost, the floor of the maxillary sinus expands, which further diminishes the thickness of the underlying bone. Overall, this leads to a loss in volume of bone that is available for implantation of dental implants, which rely on osseointegration (bone integration), to replace missing teeth [1]. The goal of the sinus lift is to graft extra bone into the maxillary sinus, so more bone is available to support a dental implant. A Special form of Reconstruction of bone, especially changing the vertical structure of the maxillary Sinus floor in the upper jaw and the establishment of the mucous membranes of Sinusitis purpose of dental implant called Sinuslift [4, 5, 6 & 8]. Distance-maxillary sinus is often so low that an implant can not be included in stable long enough. With the incorporation of bone material or bone grafting, maxillary sinus floor, ‘grow’ and that this level can be implanted implants safe. Sinuslift distinguish Extern and Intern [9,10].

Maxillary sinus floor elevation via a lateral approach is a predictable technique to increase bone volume of the edentulous posterior maxilla and consequently for dental implants placement. The sinus floor is elevated and it can be augmented with either autologous or xenogeneic bone grafts following an opening bone window created on the facial buccal wall. Maxillary septa are walls of cortical bone within the maxillary sinus. The septa shape has been described as an inverted gothic arch arising from the inferior or lateral walls of the sinus and may even divide the sinus into two or more cavities. Some authors have reported a higher prevalence of septa in atrophic edentulous areas than in nonatrophic ones. Radiographic identification of these structures is important in order to perform the right design of the lateral window during sinus lift. Aim of this investigation is to highlight the correct steps for doing sinus lift surgery in presence of those anatomic variations. Clinicians should always perform clinical and radiographic diagnosis in order to avoid complications related to the sinus lift surgery.

Objectives: Preoperative maxillary sinus imaging findings have been suggested to be associated with complications and outcomes of sinus lift and dental implant procedures; nonetheless the evidence is controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the association between preoperative maxillary sinus imaging findings and outcomes of sinus lift and dental implant procedures in asymptomatic patients. Methods: We included all patients who underwent maxillary sinus lift and dental implant procedures between 2014 and 2017. Maxillary sinus imaging findings were extracted from pre-procedural dental computed tomography scans, and outcomes of the procedures were assessed. Results: A total of 145 procedures were included. No sinonasal symptoms were reported preoperatively. In 46% of cases maxillary sinus imaging was abnormal. The most common imaging finding was peripheral mucosal thickening (38%). Sinus floor cyst/polyp was identified in 13% of the cases, of which 47% occupied more than 50% of the sinus volume. Partial or complete opacification of the maxillary sinus was documented in 3% of cases. The sinus ostium and ostiomeatal complex were obstructed in 7% and 1%, respectively. Mucosal perforation was documented in 22% of cases and was inversely related to mucosal thickening ( P = 0.011). Other minor post-operative complications did not correlate with radiological findings. Post-surgical sinusitis was not observed in any of the patients regardless of pre-surgical imaging findings. Conclusions: Incidental maxillary sinus imaging findings such as mucosal swelling, cysts or polyps, regardless of their severity or size, and maxillary ostial obstruction may not need to be addressed prior to sinus augmentation and dental implant procedures in asymptomatic patients. Patients with complete sinus opacification should be referred to an otolaryngologist prior to surgery. Further controlled trials, in larger cohorts, are needed to corroborate our findings.

Abstract Background The proximity of the maxillary sinus floor to the maxillary molar roots increases the probability of oroantral communication on conducting any surgical or endodontic procedure in the involved area. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between each maxillary molar root and maxillary sinus floor using cone beam computed tomography. Predicting the probability of protrusion of each root into the sinus will consequently predict the probability of occurrence of the oroantral fistula in a sample of the Egyptian population. Results The total number of roots located outside the sinus was 121 (35.3%), while those contacting the sinus floor were 80 (23.3%) and those intruded the sinus were 141 (41.2%). The percentage of root intrusion into the sinus in males (56.9%) was significantly (p = 0.01) higher than females (42.9%). The probability of root intrusion in the left molars (54.2%) was non-significantly (p = 0.067) higher than that of the right side (44.3%). As for the type of tooth, the second molar showed the highest probability of root intrusion into the sinus (55.3%) followed by the third molars (52.6%) then the first molars (40.9). According to the type of root, the mesiobuccal root showed the highest probability of intrusion into the sinus (50.9%) followed by the palatal root (49.1%) then the distobuccal root (47.4%). However, the difference in both type of tooth and type of root was statistically non-significant (p = 0.051 and 0.869 respectively). As for the individual root with the highest probability of intrusion, the mesio-buccal root of the right third molar is the most frequent root to intrude the sinus (71.4%) and the mesio-buccal root of the right first molar is the least frequent (22.7%). Conclusions In a sample of the Egyptian population, males exhibit higher probability of root protrusion into the sinus than females. The side and type of tooth are of higher impact on the probability of its intrusion into the sinus compared to the type of root. Left second molars are at a higher risk of oroantral communications on surgical or endodontic procedures compared to other molars due to its highest probability of intrusion into the sinus.

The procedure of crestal maxillary sinus floor elevation presents a great challenge to the field of implant dentistry. Due to the limited visualization in this procedure, the effectiveness of detaching sinus mucosa could not be assessed in real time. We recently developed an ex vivo goat sinus model by cutting the goat residual skulls along four lines determined from computerized tomography (CT) scans, extracting the maxillary premolar or molar teeth, and preparing implant socket in the maxilla. The generated ex vivo goat sinus models exposed the maxilla and the whole maxillary sinus mucosa, thus enabling real-time observation of detaching maxillary sinus mucosa via directly visualizing the working situation of sinus lift tool in the models and directly measuring the length of detached mucosa and space volume generated under the elevated sinus mucosa. One commercially available umbrella-shaped sinus lift curette was used to detach the maxillary sinus mucosa to evaluate the effectiveness of the ex vivo goat sinus models. The results showed that this curette could detach the sinus mucosa 3.75 mm in length in the mesiodistal direction and 2.81 mm in the buccal-palatal direction. Moreover, a space volume of 52.7 μl could be created under the elevated sinus mucosa in the goat ex vivo models. All the experimental results suggested that this ex vivo goat sinus model might be useful in the evaluation of improved or newly designed sinus lift tools for elevating the maxillary sinus mucosa via the crestal approach.

Insufficient bone height in the posterior maxilla is a challenging problem in dental implantation. Bio-Oss, though routinely used in maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE), is not osteoinductive. Human amniotic mesenchymal cells (hAMSCs) isolated from placental tissues have potential for multidifferentiation and immunomodulatory properties and can be easily obtained without the need for invasive procedures and without ethical concerns. This is the first study to use hAMSCs to improve implant osseointegration and bone regeneration after MSFE. Human AMSCs were loaded into a fibrin gel and injected into rabbit MSFE models. The rabbits were assigned to four groups (n=3 per group), i.e., the control group, the hAMSC group, the Bio-Oss group, and the hAMSC/Bio-Oss group. The animals were sacrificed at postsurgery for four and twelve weeks and evaluated by histology and immunohistochemistry. Bone volume, bone volume/tissue volume, bone-to-implant contact ratio, and vessel-like structures in the hAMSC/Bio-Oss group were significantly better than those in other groups in the peri-implant and augmented areas. Immunofluorescence staining showed that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities of two hAMSC groups were higher than those of the other two groups. Sequential fluorescent labeling was performed in all of the 12-week groups. Observations showed that hAMSCs accelerated mineralized deposition rates on implant surfaces and in bone-augmented areas. These data demonstrated that hAMSCs could enhance implant osseointegration and bone regeneration after MSFE and might be used to optimize dental implantation in the future.
