To solve this bone reduction, experts have developed the sinus lift, a technique studied since the 20th century. Maxillary sinuses are the cavities located within the bones of each cheek. Currently, the method used for their elevation is opening a “lateral window” to fill them with bone graft, raising the volume of the bone. Post-surgery can be long and painful for the patient, causing inflammation and discomfort due to the cut of large amounts of gum and bone.

Until just a few months ago, this was the only way to perform a sinus lift in the Islands.

It consists of placing the bone graft in the same procedure in which the implants are placed. All this thanks to a unique design: the key feature of the implant is an internal channel used to introduce the bone graft to the maxilla, highly raising the volume of the bone and avoiding previous surgery. Despite the fact that iRaise distribution has barely started in Spain, it´s already being used in several countries around Europe like France, Italy, Belgium or Germany.

The co-founder of this system and researcher, Dr. Hadar Better, also past president of the Israeli Association for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, chose Input 360 Dental and Medical Marketing to organize all the training abroad and to be in charge of the marketing and comunication.

Victor Cubillo is Input 360 Dental and Medical Marketing medical director. According to Dr.Better, he made this decision based upon “Cubillo’s career on bone regeneration and his constant search for alternative systems minimally invasive that avoid painful or remarkable post-surgery processes due to the presence of bruises and inflammation, as well as reducing the quantity of appointments a patient needs for his definitive restoration through implants”.

The training, directed by Dr. Batter himself, included the application of this innovative system to several patients of Artedental clinic. The members of the board of directors feel “enthusiastic” about practising this state-of-art system in the Canary Islands, since it “solves the disadvantages of an aggressive and painful treatment for patients”. Experts of this clinic located at Puerto de la Cruz have already started to supply evidence on the results of the placed implants that, for the moment, “have been a success”, including them in their services offered.
