The application of digital technology in the lateral window technique for sinus floor elevation

Abstract

Abstract: The loss of maxillary posterior teeth frequently leads to alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, resulting in a significant reduction in vertical bone height. The lateral window technique for sinus floor elevation involves creating a lateral window in the maxillary sinus and elevating the sinus membrane to achieve vertical bone augmentation in the posterior maxilla, thereby meeting the bone height requirements for implant placement. Digital technology has been widely applied to this procedure, effectively reducing surgical complications. This paper explores the application of digital technology-assisted LSFE in cases with oblique sinus floors, sinus septa, cysts, or foreign bodies, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Key words: Digital technology, Sinus floor elevation, Lateral window technique, Implant restoration
