Putting it All Together

Takeways

The Logic Behind

Minimal Risk – The stopper at the bottom of the active part of each drill prevents excessive and uncontrolled penetration into the sinus.

Concave Shape – The concave shape of the of the B.Y. diamond milling burs creates a bone plate, which makes for a safer detachment of the sinus floor.

Sinus Floor Detachment – Sinus floor detachment occurs due to the compression exerted by the bone pulp.

No Direct Contact – No direct contact between the B.Y. diamond milling bur and the sinus membrane during the breach of the sinus floor.

Expert Tips for using Augma Lift

Choosing the Osteotomy Location – The drilling site should be determined based on the prosthetic requirements for implant placement.

Verifying Ridge Detachment with B.Y. Diamond Milling Burs – As an option for verifying ridge detachment with the osteotome, a B.Y. diamond milling bur can be used as follows. Insert the next B.Y diamond milling bur into the osteotomy, without rotation. If the stopper reaches the ridge line, it indicates that the sinus floor has been detached. If it does not reach the stopper activate the bur’s rotation until the stopper reaches the ridge line. Proceed until the sinus floor is fully detached.

Lifting the Sinus Membrane After Ridge Floor Detachment – Follow the protocols without skipping any steps.

Valsalva Maneuver – Perform at the conclusion of the procedure when all osteotomy openings are completely sealed with the material, or after all implants have been placed.
