Augma Lift™ What-to-Expect
Augma Lift™ is a minimally-invasive technique for performing intra crestal sinus lifts from 1mm height.
- Working with Bond Apatite® results in a complete bone regeneration.
- The healing process differs from many other bone substitutes, and there might be major differences in the radiographic appearance between traditional grafting and Augma bone cement grafting.
- Immediately after graft placement, the radiographic appearance is radiopaque.
- Two weeks after placement the radiographic appearance is radiolucent.
- Five months post-op it will appear radiopaque again.
- It is important to note that the radiopacity reflects the appearance of young, vital bone.
- Take into consideration that there will be some resorption and height reduction as part of the healing process.
- Please view the following phases emphasizing the healing process, including soft and hard tissue healing and radiographic appearance.
