Abstract
For many clinicians, inadequate alveolar bone height and anatomical features of the maxillary sinus complicate sinus lift procedures and placement of endosseous implants. We review the recent advance in sinus elevation and present a series of cases using the new internal crestal approach that addresses these issues and. A new device for maxillary sinus membrane elevation by the crestal approach using a special drilling system and hydraulic pressure, and placing dental implants placed after a sinus lift procedure. Our experience suggests that hydraulic sinus condensing is a predictable and minimally invasive alternative for prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary anterior and posterior regions in the presence of anatomical restrictions to implant placement.
