Sinus Floor Elevation

After the loss of premolars or molars, the posterior maxilla often lacks sufficient bone height for implant placement due to sinus pneumatization. Sinus Floor Elevation (SFE) is a regenerative procedure that increases vertical bone volume beneath the sinus membrane, allowing for secure and long-lasting implant placement.

Depending on the remaining bone height and anatomy, the sinus membrane can be elevated using either a crestal (transcrestal) or lateral window approach.

For predictable bone regeneration and long-term implant stability, Geistlich Bio-Oss®, Bio-Oss® Collagen, and Bio-Oss® Pen provide a stable osteoconductive scaffold beneath the elevated sinus membrane, while Geistlich Bio-Gide® protects the grafted site and supports soft-tissue integration.
