Incision Line and Sinus
Floor Elevation/
Augmentation
The example indication shows the insertion
of a 4.3 / 13 mm SCREW-CYLIN-
DER-LINE Implant in the posterior maxilla
with simultaneous sinus floor elevation
and augmentation. The implantation
technique is two-stage. A full flap preparation
is selected for the incision line. A
residual crestal bone height of at least
5 mm is required for use of a SCREW-
CYLINDER-LINE Implant.
Following a somewhat palatal, paracrestal
mucosal incision, a full flap is prepared
on the vestibular aspect as far as
the required height to outline the sinus
window. A periosteal slit is performed at
the superior margin of the flap to ensure
tension-free wound closure later. The
design of the window and sinus floor
elevation are performed following standard
surgical practice. Make sure to
leave sufficient distance between the
lower edge of the window and the alveolar
ridge. Augmentation material is
applied medially prior to preparation of
the implant site, because this area is difficult
to access after implantation. In
addition, it helps to retain the elevated
mucosa cranially.
This is followed by preparing of the
implant bed to match the selected
implant diameter with the customized
instruments for the SCREW-CYLINDER-
LINE Implant.
