Elevate the Sinus Membrane

Takeaways

Elevating the Sinus Membrane – Key Points

• Stopper adjustment: The length of the osteotome should be 1mm longer than the length of the last B.Y. diamond milling bur that was used.
• Osteotome extension: Gently insert the osteotome into the osteotomy until it reaches a stop.
• Continue this process by adding 1mm length to the osteotome each time, until the sinus has been elevated to the desired level.
• Elevate the membrane 5-6mm more than the length of the last B.Y. used.
