Complicaciones en el abordaje quirúrgico del seno maxilar con técnica lateral.

Abstract

Introduction: Maxillary sinus lift is a surgical method used to increase the vertical dimension of the bone in the posterolateral portions of the jaws in order to facilitate the insertion of osseointegrated implants. Objective: To describe the complications that occur in the surgical approach to the maxillary sinus with the lateral technique. Methodology: this study is based on a qualitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional, analytical descriptive type, carried out in a descriptive statistical research method. Results: Of the 9 selected articles, the side window technique represents 78%, while the supracrestal technique represents 22% in the cases used. While among the most frequent surgical complications was evidenced the perforation of the Schneider membrane with 58%, injury of the posterior superior alveolar artery with 32% and 10% of hemorrhage. Conclusions: The complications described in the literature must be individualized for each case and condition that occurs and thus be able to prevent them. The techniques most used today are the aforementioned Lateral and Supracrestal Windows, which have not shown clear evidence of their effectiveness in different studies.
