A Simplified Approach for Sinus Augmentation to Avoid Sinus Membrane Perforation: An Analysis of 400 Cases

Transcrestal sinus elevation provides a very good alternative utilizing the All Secure Sinus Elevation Kit (ASSEK) A compared to older techniques that have proven themselves to have associated complications, including sinus membrane perforation. The ASSEK B allows you to perform a Summer's sinus elevation approach in direct vision for added safety Clinical significance: The design of the Kit's components avoids any complications of sinus membrane perforation. The Kit uses a minimally non-invasive surgery, avoiding any healing complications that present with more extensive surgical approaches. Sinus augmentation is frequently required for implant placement in the maxillary molar sites, especially when ridge resorption has occurred. The technique and instrumentation discussed provide a simpler surgical procedure to achieve increased crestal height with significantly decreased sinus perforation potential.
