Abstract

The insufficient thickness of alveolar bone together with low bone density make difficult to place of dental implants at posterior of the maxilla. To overcome this anatomical restriction, there has been sinus floor elevation (SFE) that can provide sufficient bone volume for implant placement. In the present report, three cases of SFE using hydraulic lift kit to the posterior maxillary site with reduced vertical bone height, and the evaluations of the clinical and radiographic evaluations were completed. Three patients with an insufficient alveolar bone height were treated with sinus augmentation without any complications. A radiographic evaluation showed that augmented bone height was consistently maintained through the follow-up periods and no specific bone resorption was shown. Based on the results in this report, the hydraulic pressure might be an effective procedure to elevate sinus floor with/without implant placement and reduced the risk of membrane perforation in the atrophied posterior maxilla.
