dc.description.abstractObjectives: Sinus lifting, a procedure to augment bone in the maxilla, may cause complications such as sinusitis due to impaired drainage. This study aimed to assess how sinus lifting impacts airflow in the sinus cavity, which is essential for patients undergoing dental implants. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this research analyzed airflow changes after sinus floor elevation, offering insights into the aerodynamic consequences of the procedure. Methods: Digital modeling and CFD analysis were performed using patient cone-beam computed tomography data. Three different sinus elevation scenarios, each with varying implant heights, were simulated. Airflow simulations were conducted to assess how reshaping the sinus cavity affects aerodynamics and airflow dynamics. Nasal resistance, calculated through pressure drops and flow rates, and wall shear stress, indicating potential mucosal damage, were evaluated. Results: Although some airflow changes occurred post-surgery, the implants primarily affected the front and rear of the elevated area, with little impact being seen on air entry points. Conclusions: Maxillary sinus lifting for dental implant placement may impair sinus drainage, especially at higher elevations, increasing the risk of mucosal damage due to intensified airflows in the reduced sinus volume. A more uniform, simplified intra-sinus structure may enhance fluid dynamics and reduce complications.
