The Challenges During & After Sinus Lift Procedure and Solutions to Overcome them

Sinus lift surgery is a complex procedure that requires considerable skill and experience to achieve success. It can be challenging for the patient as well as the surgeon due to the potential complications that may arise during and after the surgery. Common challenges include managing swelling, pain, dry sockets, and infection. In order to ensure a successful outcome, it is important to understand these challenges and know how to address them. This article will discuss some of the common challenges associated with sinus lift surgeries and provide solutions on how best to manage them.

Managing Swelling Sinus surgery can result in swelling of the sinus cavities. This is an expected complication as a result of surgical manipulation and facial modifications that take place during the procedure. Since sinuses are air filled spaces, they will appear swollen due to the burst of gas bubbles within them.

As these bubbles collapse, they will leave a visible bump on the forehead. This is not usually serious, but it can be uncomfortable for patients so it is important to reduce swelling using various methods such as medication and saline irrigation before bedtime.

FAQ

Will I feel pain while undergoing a laminate veneer treatment?

No pain is inflicted during the procedure. However, in some cases, local anaesthesia may be applied to avoid the possibility of pain. After the first session, temporary laminates are attached in order to protect the teeth until the permanent veneers attachment. Therefore, the patient, not to mention that the issue of tooth sensitivity is avoided, experiences no esthetic problem.

Who cannot have laminate veneers done?

• People with lower jaw extending forward
• People with malocclusion
• People with insufficient gums
• Patients with advanced fluorosis (it will cause an advanced discolouration. Additionally, it prevents a strong attachment of the laminate).
• People with bruxism and other harmful habits should not have laminate veneers or should firstly deal with these problems.

What are the advantages of laminates over crowns?

To apply acrown, all around the tooth 2 mm of enamel have to be removed. In porcelain laminate veneers, only front 0.3-1 mm is enough to attach them.

How should a care for laminate veneers be performed?

Due to a large number of bacteria living in the oral cavity, all restoration procedures bring an increased risk of tooth decay. You can increase the lifespan of your laminates and avoid complications by taking care of your oral hygiene and keeping your teeth and veneers possibly clean. In order to achieve that, do not neglect your routine oral care (toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss, and interdental brush) and visits to your dentist’s office.

How can I get to know beforehand how the porcelain laminates will look like?

In this way, doctor and patient, can make changes according to their wishes and decide how the final aesthetic effect should look like.
