Hydraulic Sinus Condensing

Hydraulic Sinus Condensing

Hydraulic Sinus Condensing (HSC) is a sinus lift procedure invented in 1996, by Dr. Leon Chen of the Dental Implant Institute. Unlike the traditional methods of sinus lifts, which typically use an osteotomy of the lateral aspect of the maxilla, the HSC technique uses an osteotomy on the lateral aspect of the crestal ridge of the maxilla. The HSC technique has shown to have much shorter recovery times than traditional methods, and does not require a hospital visit, or a bed rest recovery time. A dental implant is placed at the same time as the HSC technique, also reducing the healing time.
