Method of calculating volume of bone-substituting material during sinus-lifting operation using digital technologies

Abstract

The method of digital planning of sinus-lifting operation using the data of computed tomography, laser surface scanning of dentition, as well as a number of computer programs, the use of which in the treatment of tooth loss allows you to accurately determine the volume of bone-substituting material and the area of implant placement. This technique is based on the digital calculation of the volume of bone-substituting material required for introduction into the maxillary sinus during sinus-lifting operation.
