Fill the Sinus Cavity

Takeways

Activating Bond Apatite^® – Key Points

1. Place the shaft of the syringe against the palm of your hand.
2. Place a finger on the cap of the syringe.
3. Push slowly until the first piston reaches the indicator line.
4. Remove the cap with a twisting and pulling motion.
5. Prepare the graft for filling by activating the Bond Apatite^® syringe and ejecting the contents into the dish provided with the kit.
6. Place a sterile gauze above the material and press gently for 3- 4 seconds to slightly harden the material.
7. Break the material into smaller fragments.

Filling the Sinus Cavity – Key Points

• Load the bone carrier syringe with the prepared material.
• Do not load the bone carrier syringe with a large amount of material.
• While inserting the material into the osteotomy, position the bone carrier syringe at the opening of the osteotomy.
• Do not push the nozzle of the bone carrier syringe into the osteotomy.
• Use the osteotome to insert the material into the sinus cavity through the osteotome, by setting the osteotome 1mm less than was used during sinus membrane elevation
• Repeat the process of injecting the material and lowering the osteotome 1mm each time to continue filling the sinus.
• Augment the sinus until the osteotome length reaches 2-3mm less than the B.Y. diamond milling bur used to breach the sinus floor.
