Misa Implant Sinus Lifting Is the Most Difficult and Highly Complex Procedure.

Hello!

I’m Director Jang Tae-hyun of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

�A0

There are levels of difficulty even in implant surgery.

�A0

Some procedures end quickly and simply,

while others require intense concentration for every small step.

�A0

Today, I’ll explain our body’s structure

and help answer some questions!

�A0

Misa implant sinus lifting is the most difficult and highly complex procedure.

�A0

I hope this will be helpful for patients preparing for upper molar surgery~ haha

�A0

�A0

Why is sinus lifting necessary?

�A0

When an implant is needed in the maxillary (upper jaw) area,

many people are encountering the term “sinus lifting” for the first time.

�A0

Simply put, it means that bone grafting is needed.

�A0

After hearing that sinus lifting is essential,

people often wonder, “Why do I have to do it?”

�A0

The cost also varies widely from clinic to clinic,

and people are often told to go to a larger hospital with more experience~

�A0

First, let me explain what the sinus is~~

�A0

1. What is the sinus?

�A0

�A0

The sinus is also called a paranasal sinus in otolaryngology!

�A0

If you’ve heard of sinusitis,

this may already sound familiar.

�A0

When inflammation develops here, the upper teeth can hurt when you run,

and you may feel pain even when touching your face, so it is also related to dentistry~

�A0

In particular, people with rhinitis are more likely to develop inflammation in the sinus!

�A0

It is an empty space located on both sides of the nose,

and it plays an important role when we breathe or produce sound.

�A0

2. What is sinus lifting?

�A0

Sinus lifting is the name of a Misa implant surgical method.

�A0

Sinus lifting refers to lifting the sinus and placing bone graft material.

�A0

Bone grafting is absolutely necessary for some people,

just as some patients can be treated with implant surgery alone.

�A0

Sinus lifting is also needed when this structure has dropped significantly

and interferes with implant surgery.

3. Why sinus lifting is needed

(1) Age-related changes

As we age, the sinus naturally descends due to the effects of gravity.

In particular, if an upper molar has been lost and left untreated for a long time,

the sinus tends to descend more quickly.

�A0

This is one reason why treatment should be provided soon after a tooth is extracted!

�A0

(2) The result of leaving tooth loss untreated

If the area where a tooth was extracted is left untreated for a long time,

the bone gradually becomes resorbed and thinner.

�A0

That’s why older adults often look as if their mouth area has become sunken

when they wear dentures for a long time~

�A0

It’s because the bone has been resorbed!!

�A0

In any case, for an implant to settle stably..

there must be a certain length and thickness of jawbone..

�A0

If the sinus has descended and there is insufficient bone,

the fixation may not be adequate.

�A0

Also, if the length is insufficient, it cannot be placed.

�A0

“Can’t you just place an implant into the sinus?”

�A0

If the sinus is penetrated, that’s a serious problem....

�A0

�A0

When I explain that sinus lifting is needed

for Misa implant treatment,

this is one of the questions I hear often.

�A0

If the sinus is penetrated, the mouth and nose become connected.

�A0

Even food can come out through the nose...

�A0

That’s why it is the most difficult and most carefully performed

procedure in implant surgery.

�A0

Sinus lifting is a procedure that gently lifts the sinus

to secure space for implant placement..

�A0

This sinus is extremely thin.

�A0

You know the thin transparent membrane on boiled eggs~

�A0

That’s exactly what it is!

�A0

If force is applied incorrectly even a little,

the sinus can rupture and the implant can enter the sinus cavity,

so delicacy is essential!!

�A0

�A0

The descended sinus is lifted upward,

and the space beneath it is filled with bone graft material as the surgery proceeds.

�A0

If you check the CT scan, you can confirm the grafted bone material during a Misa implant procedure~

�A0

If sufficient bone is secured through sinus lifting to support the implant,

the implant can remain firmly in place after the procedure!!

�A0

�A0

There are also two surgical approaches:

an approach that lifts it from below

and a lateral access approach.

�A0

Please refer to the article I wrote!!

Lateral access method

�A0

Summary

Sinus lifting is needed in these cases!!

�A0

• When a long time has passed after tooth extraction

• When the upper jawbone is too thin to make implant placement difficult

• When the sinus has descended and there is not enough space

�A0

Sinus lifting is not just a process for placing an implant,

but an essential step for a safer and more successful treatment outcome!!!

�A0

It must be approached carefully

after analyzing each patient’s bone condition and sinus structure.

�A0

After taking a CT scan, I can explain in detail

what the condition is and why treatment is needed.

If sinus lifting is performed, it can take 4 to 6 months.

�A0

If there is truly no jawbone, it can even take close to a year.

�A0

It is a difficult surgery,

but many patients visit us for Misa implants,

so we have extensive experience.

�A0

Experience means faster response capability

and greater skill.

�A0

We will provide a sturdy and safe procedure

at Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic~~!!

Thank you!!
