The digital/analogical diagnosis in the maxillary sinus surgery

Three-dimensional diagnostic assessments have a decisive value in presurgical treatment planning, especially in situations in which the alveolar process has pronounced resorption, and therefore insufficient bone volume for placing endosseous implants. Follow a CBCT evaluation, it seems appropriate to underline the need for each candidate of a sinus lift operation to first undergo a careful clinical history investigation. If necessary, suitable specialist collaboration (otorhinolaryngologist) must be requested. It can be concluded that, with current knowledge. 1. Anatomy and TC/CBCT evaluation: What the clinician sees in reality vs what he can see in a TC/CBCT evaluation. 2. Pre-surgical diagnosis: - Criteria for patient evaluation - Criteria for site-specific evaluation - Sinus physiology - Contraindications from the otorhinolaryngological point of view
