An Alternative Strategy to Manage a Large Perforation of the Schneiderian Membrane by Staged Re-entry into the Maxillary Sinus: Observed Clinical and Histological Changes of the Regenerated Schneiderian Membrane
Journal Title: International Journal of Oral and Dental Health - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Maxillary sinus membrane perforation or tear is the most common complication of the sinus grafting procedure. Repair of the sinus membrane is usually accomplished at the time of the sinus graft procedure and often results in uneventful postoperative complications. However, complications may still arise, especially with large sinus membrane perforations or complete tears that could lead to an infection of the maxillary sinus and other anatomic areas of the maxillofacial complex that could result in bone graft and dental implant failure. An alternative strategy and method to repair the Scheiderian membrane that results in a newly formed fibrotic sinus membrane is described that permits completion of dental implant treatment.
