Abstract

In the posterior maxilla, residual bone height is limited by the presence of the sinus and often plays a key factor in the placement of dental implants.  A sinus lift is the ideal approach (when evaluating an atrophic maxillary ridge with deficiency in vertical height) to build additional bone in order to place a solid and stable implant. 

Not every clinician is blessed with the best dexterity or have experience of placing hundreds to thousands of implants.  Computer Guided Sinus Lifting System will aid clinicians in placing implants in pre-determined position, angle, and depth with minimum risk of membrane perforation. Most importantly, OneCAS will save clinicians tremendous headache and hassle that come from manually placing implants, and lifting sinus

Learning Objectives

• Recognize the clinical indications and benefits
• Understand the digital workflow
• Compare digital sinus lift protocols with conventional techniques
• Implement guided surgical techniques using 3D-printed templates
• Identify potential challenges and limitations of digital-guided sinus augmentation
