Regenerative : Sinus Lift Balloon





Regenerative : Sinus Lift Balloon

Zimmer® Sinus Lift Balloon
Give your practice a lift.

Ease of Use
Vertical sinus elevation results and bone graft volume required are in direct proportion to the amount of fluid used to inflate the Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon.

Versatile
Available in three, single-use configurations:
Angled (lateral window/Caldwell-Luc)
Straight (crestal/Summers)Micro-mini (crestal/Summers)

Minimally Invasive

Assists clinicians in performing atraumatic sinus membrane elevations.
Designed to lift the Schneiderian membrane gently and uniformly, which may reduce the incidence of perforation.
Smaller diameter osteotomy in both crestal and lateral window due to shaft size; straight/angled (3.5mm), micro-mini (1.9mm) diameters.

Clinical advantages of the Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon

Sinus lift procedures commonly result in Schneiderian membrane perforations up to 56 percent of the time1.
Serves as a delivery tool for collagen membranes, if tear occurs, and may assure the appropriate positioning for bone graft containment.Can be used in conjunction with both traditional and minimally invasive methods for osteotomy preparation, including osteotomes, piezo surgery, and other sinus lift preparation kits.
Volume of graft material required is in direct proportion to the amount of fluid used to inflate the balloon (i.e., 1cc of fluid corresponds with 1cc of graft material).
Traditional procedures result in 2-3mm of sinus height lift, but with 1cc of saline the Sinus Lift Balloon’s expected sinus elevation is 6mm (+/- 0.5mm).


The Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon procedure provides even-pressured elevation of the Schneiderian membrane. Below is the illustrated technique for lifting the sinus membrane.

Chewing Robot' could revolutionise dental research

A 'Chewing Robot' which mimics the human jaw and teeth could revolutionise dental research, it has emerged. Published: 7:00AM BST 30 Jun 2009 The mechanical mandible allows experts to study the wear-and-tear on dental fittings like crowns and bridges without using costly human subjects. Fittings are made from well-known metals, polymers and ceramics – but their dental wear properties are often poorly understood.

By the time a new material has been tested, it is often obsolete. This is where the Chewing Robot – created by the University of Bristol and the Department of Oral and Dental Science – comes in.

"Researchers aim to give surgeons 3D maps, directions of human body"

Check out: "Researchers aim to give surgeons 3D maps, directions of human body" - www.engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/researchers-aim-to-give-surgeons-3d-maps-directions-of-human-bo/?icid=engadget-iphone-url While a GPS-style "navigation system" for surgeons may not seem like the best idea to anyone that's ever been led astray by their dash-mounted co-pilot, it apparently seemed like a good enough idea for a group of researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. While they do stretch the metaphor a bit, the group's TLEMsafe system does provide surgeons with a complete 3D map of the lower body, which can actually be personalized for each individual patient, giving surgeons a reference and means to practice before any actual surgery takes place -- and, yes, even an "automated navigation system" during surgery. Coincidentally, some researchers from the University of Colorado have also just announced that they've
