Lateral Instruments

Instruments for lateral window sinus lifting, including window cutters, core drills, side cutting drills, reamers and double ended curettes for lifting the sinus membrane. The lateral approach gives direct access to the sinus floor when more bone height is needed than a crestal lift can provide.

The window is prepared in the lateral wall of the sinus down to the membrane, then the membrane is gently elevated with curved curettes and the space filled with bone graft. Drills designed for this step cut bone while reducing the risk of tearing the membrane.

Membrane perforation is the most common complication, so sharp, well shaped instruments and a gentle technique make a real difference.
