Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique of sinus lift (also known as sinus augmentation) involves augmenting the height of bone in the maxillary molar area by lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material into the space. This creates additional room for placing dental implants in an area where there may not have been enough bone initially. Socket preservation helps maintain the existing bone height after a tooth extraction, but does not add additional height. Ramus grafting involves taking bone from the mandible and adding it to the maxilla, so it is not directly relevant to augmenting bone height in the maxilla. Distraction osteogenesis involves slowly moving bone apart to create new bone growth, which would not be necessary in cases where vertical augmentation is the goal.
