The so-called sinus lift procedure is commonly feared by patients. But unjustly so, in our opinion! Scientific documentation and our more than 20 years of successful experience with this procedure confirm this statement.<\/p><p>A sinus lift is necessary whenever the residual bone of the upper jaw is reduced in height, for example through expansion of the maxillary sinus. Today, it is assumed that an implant length of 11 mm (for a respective implant diameter &gt; 4.1 mm) is required to ensure safe and long-term anchoring of implants. In many cases, this residual bone height is no longer available due to anatomical reasons or prior loss of tooth or bone material. The minimum height thus must be restored surgically, and the floor of the maxillary sinus lifted accordingly (\u201csinus lift\u201d).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fe1b5de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fe1b5de\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-611fbae\" data-id=\"611fbae\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65106fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"65106fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icc-m.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/sinuslift3-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7995\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icc-m.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/sinuslift3-1.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.icc-m.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/sinuslift3-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e14e6f4\" data-id=\"e14e6f4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db90d27 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db90d27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Figure 1: Patient case<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7f925b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7f925b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Patient case with reduced bone height in the upper jaw (premolar\/molar area); the residual bone height is insufficient for anchoring implants.
