Longstanding partial edentulism in the posterior segment of the maxilla is a challenging treatment and typically involves extensive and invasive sinus floor augmentation. Various methods have been employed for sinus floor elevation, including the application of hydraulic pressure using the balloon technique. This case report describes a modified ballooning technique to elevate the sinus floor using a Foley catheter to apply the hydraulic pressure method to elevate the Schneiderian membrane prior to the placement of bone grafts and an endosseous implant in a 37-year-old male patient who presented with an atrophic alveolar ridge height of 3.0 mm in the area of the extracted left first maxillary molar. Sinus floor elevation using the Foley catheter led to a sinus floor elevation of 7 mm and a gain in alveolar bone height of 7.8 mm. The patient was asymptomatic with a stable implant during the one-year follow-up period after prosthetic implant loading.
上颌后段长期存在的部分牙列缺失是一种具有挑战性的治疗,通常需要进行广泛且侵入性的鼻窦底提升术。已采用多种方法进行鼻窦底提升,包括使用球囊技术施加液压。本病例报告描述了一种改良的球囊技术,该技术使用Foley导管施加液压法,在一名37岁男性患者的骨移植和骨内种植体植入前提升施奈德膜,该患者拔除的左上颌第一磨牙区域牙槽嵴高度萎缩至3.0mm。使用Foley导管进行鼻窦底提升使鼻窦底提升了7mm,牙槽骨高度增加了7.8mm。在种植体修复加载后的一年随访期内,患者无症状,种植体稳定。
