Patent ID: 8083801

Claim:
A sinus correction method for treating a sinus membrane perforation, the method comprising the steps of: identifying the sinus membrane perforation; making an incision in gingival tissue located adjacent to the sinus membrane perforation; dissecting the gingival tissue from cortical bone; dissecting sinus membrane adjacent to the gingival tissue from the cortical bone, wherein the sinus membrane is connected to the adjacent gingival tissue; overlapping the sinus membrane and adjacent gingival tissue from two sides of the sinus membrane perforation and creating a sinus membrane space between the sinus membrane and the cortical bone, wherein the sinus membrane and adjacent gingival tissue separated from two sides of the sinus membrane perforation are overlapping; connecting the overlapping sinus membrane and adjacent gingival tissue separated from two sides of the sinus membrane perforation; and inserting a bone graft composition into the sinus membrane space located between the overlapping sinus membrane and the cortical bone, wherein the bone graft composition forms bone connected with cortical bone sufficient to place a dental implant.
