RESUMO
The size and the position of the sinus antrostomy play a key role in making sinus grafting surgery more predictable and effective with less complications. A cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scan of the maxilla were taken for a patient who is missing maxillary first molar tooth with limited residual bone. Data were exported to the dynamic navigation (DN) system software. Sinus lateral window osteotomy position and dimensions were determined and planned using four 1.5 mm diameter implants placed on the maxillary sinus lateral wall. The osteotomy was initiated following the planned four 1.5 mm implants in a parallel motion to the bone surface using dynamic navigation guidance; thus, creating an outline for the lateral sinus window. Afterword's, the lateral sinus window was greenstick fractured and the membrane was lifted; first molar implant osteotomy done, implant placed, and bone graft material was placed. The flap was sutured, and post-operative instructions and medications were given. No post-operative complications noticed. The outline of the lateral window osteotomy along with implant osteotomy can be accurately planned and executed using DN technology, which may potentially reduce complications and insure accurate placement of the implant and the graft.
