Description
Estimated cost for sinus floor elevation at general public hospitals in China is about ¥2100-6400, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥3000-8000, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Primary purpose is to augment available alveolar bone height in the posterior maxilla to enable successful placement of dental implants in patients with severe sinus pneumatization and insufficient residual bone (<4–6 mm); indicated for edentulous or partially edentulous patients requiring implant-supported prostheses, especially after long-term tooth loss or following traumatic/post-extraction bone resorption.
Normal Range
Upper sinus floor elevation (sinus lift) is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic laboratory test; therefore, it has no numerical 'normal range' or quantitative biomarkers. Success is assessed radiographically (e.g., ≥5 mm of grafted bone height on CBCT) and clinically (e.g., stable implant integration, absence of infection or graft failure).
Low Values - Possible Causes
Insufficient bone height preoperatively (<4 mm), intraoperative Schneiderian membrane perforation, inadequate graft volume or poor graft material handling, early postoperative infection or sinusitis, premature loading or mechanical instability of the graft site.
High Values - Possible Causes
Over-grafting leading to excessive sinus floor elevation (>12–15 mm), unintended displacement of graft material into the sinus cavity, iatrogenic sinus membrane over-distension, concurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with mucosal thickening mimicking graft height, or postoperative hematoma/seroma causing transient radiographic elevation.
