Effect of sinus membrane perforation on dental implant integration

Maxillary sinus membrane tear or perforation is one of the most common complications that arise during the sinus grafting procedure. The repair process is usually completed at the time of the sinus graft procedure and often shows many uneventful postoperative complications.

But problems may still develop, particularly with large sinus membrane perforations or whole tears that may develop an infection of the maxillary sinus. The infection of other anatomic areas of the maxillofacial complex can develop that may affect bone grafting and dental implants. The failure of any dental treatment can take place. Here comes the role of professionals like Dental Implant Smiles. They can help you with the right dental implant procedure even with such complications.

An alternative strategy

If this is the case, then today professionals like Dental Implant Smiles have advanced techniques and strategies to get rid of such complications. An alternative strategy and technique to repair the Scheiderian membrane resulting in a newly built fibrotic sinus membrane are defined that allows the completion of dental implant treatment. Membrane perforations can be repaired with the utilization of a bioresorbable collagen membrane demineralized free-dried human lamellar bone sheet, autologous fibrin glue, oxidized regenerated cellulose, platelet-rich plasma, and sutures.

Histology of the Maxillary Sinus membrane

Like all sinuses, the nasal cavity and maxillary sinus are lined by a 3-layered mucous membrane that is very similar to that of the respiratory tract. The thickness of the sinus membrane varies from 0.3 to 0.8mm. It is unremitting with the nasal epithelium, not as vascular, but thinner. The epithelial layer comprises pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells, mucous secreting goblet cells, and basal cells. The sub epithelial layer comprises collagen bundles, as well as elastic fibers, which are moderately vascularized.

Management of the large perforated membrane

Many methods and techniques are available these days, which are designed for the management of the sinus perforation as it is the most often complication with the sinus elevation process. Staged re-entry of the maxillary sinus membrane to graft the sinus cavity is expectable and boosts graft material and the survival of dental implants.
