Mectron Sinus Physioliftâ
Mectron has recently brought out on worldwide market a new surgical kit for indirect maxillary sinus lifts. The Sinus Physiolift® is used with the crestal technique elevating the Scheneiderian membrane with an innovative screw-lift and hydrodynamic pressure.
This new technique, developed in scientific collaboration with Dr. Rosario Sentineri, allows the Schneiderian membrane to be detached in a safe and intuitive manner. The technique involves the introduction of a pressurized physiological solution into the implant site, through a dedicated instrument (Physiolifter) which allows a micrometric control of the hydraulic pressure.
Moreover, once the implant site has been prepared with the piezoelectric technique, an appropriate sinus elevator (CS1) is introduced up to the basal cortex, which helps keep the system watertight during the membrane elevation.
The implant site preparation is completed by a new Piezosurgeryâ insert (OT9) which removes the sinus basal cortex and creates a 2.4 mm diameter access opening; Piezosurgeryâ ultrasonic micro-vibrations allow preparation of the maxillary sinus floor without damaging the Schneiderian membrane.
The new Sinus Physioliftâ technique is not traumatic for the patient since it does not involve osteotomes and a hammer. A flapless approach may be used if a primary stability higher than 40Ncm is expected.
Multiple implant placements can be performed too: the sinus Physioliftâ technique does not require a vestibular access thanks to the introduction of a second sinus elevator. A dedicated sealed tube closes the first sinus elevator, to avoid pressure loss during the second membrane elevation.
