CBCT-planned implant site development
Sinus Lift and Implant Placement in One Surgical Phase
A posterior maxillary implant case managed through sinus augmentation and implant placement in a single surgical phase when clinical conditions permitted.
Clinical concern
Recovery context
Digital planning and surgical proof
CBCT sinus analysis
The residual bone height, sinus anatomy and surgical access were reviewed in 3D before confirming the sinus augmentation approach.
Prosthetically driven implant position
Implant planning considered the future restoration, available bone and the regenerated foundation needed for support.
Regenerative material planning
The augmentation volume and biomaterial strategy were selected according to defect anatomy and treatment sequence.
Materials, guides and technique context
Implant system
Premium implant systems such as Straumann may be used when clinically indicated and selected for the case.
Biomaterials
Bone substitute and membrane selection depends on sinus anatomy, defect volume and surgical diagnosis.
Surgical guide
A digital guide may be considered when implant position, anatomy and access support guided placement.
Technique
Lateral sinus floor elevation with implant placement when primary stability is achievable.
Two-specialist planning value
Posterior maxillary implant cases benefit from dual review of sinus anatomy, implant position, graft volume and intraoperative risk management.
What the patient can understand before surgery
The sinus and bone height are reviewed in 3D before surgery.
The implant position is planned around the desired restoration.
The decision for simultaneous or staged implant placement depends on clinical stability and anatomy.
Diagnosis and treatment sequence
Problem
Insufficient bone height in the posterior upper jaw, limiting predictable implant placement because of maxillary sinus anatomy and previous bone resorption.
Diagnosis
Posterior maxillary bone deficiency requiring sinus floor elevation to create adequate bone volume for implant rehabilitation.
Planning
CBCT-based assessment of residual bone height, sinus anatomy, implant position and surgical access was required before confirming the treatment approach.
Treatment
Lateral sinus lift with careful sinus membrane elevation, bone augmentation and simultaneous implant placement when primary stability allowed it.
Outcome
Healing was favorable, with a stable augmented site and implant foundation progressing as expected after surgery.
Key clinical points
Posterior upper jaw bone deficiency
CBCT-based sinus anatomy review
Bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement
Primary stability verified before finalizing the surgical approach
Important note
Individual results vary. Simultaneous implant placement depends on residual bone, primary stability, sinus anatomy and medical factors.
This case is shown for educational and informational purposes. A similar concern may require a different treatment plan after clinical and radiographic assessment. Digital planning and surgical guides support accuracy when indicated, but they do not remove biological risk or the need for intraoperative surgical judgment.
