Sinus Graft – SteinerBio

SINUS GRAFT

Minimally Invasive Sinus Augmentation with Sinus Membrane Removal

Sinus Graft is mixed chairside and should be stored in the refrigerator until use.

This product contains no human or animal tissue.

The Steiner Sinus Lift: Hydraulically Lift the Sinus Membrane via a 3mm Buccal Osteotomy

Sinus lift surgery has become more common as patients choose implants for tooth replacement. The unique characteristics of Sinus Graft has allowed for refinement of this surgical modality to a degree that allows practitioners to provide a previously unattainable level of care for their patients.

In adults, the size of the maxillary sinus often needs to be reduced to permit tooth replacement with dental implants. However, the cost, morbidity, and surgical complexity associated with maxillary bone augmentation has limited the use of this procedure. The Steiner Sinus Lift addresses each of these issues with the intention of making maxillary bone augmentation in the floor of the sinus a simple, non-traumatic procedure within the skill level of all dental practitioners.

Trans-Osseous Sinus Augmentation Kit

The Trans-Osseous Sinus Augmentation™ (TOSA™)

– patent pending

The Trans-Osseous Sinus Augmentation™ method is designed to lift the sinus membrane off the floor of the sinus without contacting the sinus membrane.

Strengthen Your Practice

Sinus Graft will change your practice when your patients realize our technology is available to them. Your patients now have a choice between a chemically pure, FDA cleared bone graft or the frequently off-putting choice of cadaver tissue. Resorbable synthetics and autografts are the only bone grafts that produce normal bone. Normal bone is the only type of bone that has been shown to support an implant for a lifetime.

Sinus Graft Bonds to the Sinus Bone and the Implant Surface

As osteoblasts migrate through the graft, they reach an implant surface and produce implant integration. In this manner implants can be placed at the same time as grafting with the confidence that complete implant integration will occur. The tissue engineering of bone requires the biologic stimulation of host cells. Due to the short half life of growth factors when placed in the graft site and the inability of a single growth factor to orchestrate the complex temporal and spatial molecular reactions needed to produce tissue, the use of single growth factors for the biologic stimulation of host cells produces only limited bone growth. For these reasons, Sinus Graft does not use growth factors, but instead contains SL Factor, which stimulates the cell to increase the production of growth factors and other signaling molecules

How Does SL Factor Work?

SteinerBio has the only bone grafts on the market that contain a drug that changes the physiology of a bone’s osteoblasts to stimulate osteogenesis. SL Factor, our patented organic compound, enters through the membrane of the osteoblasts and results in the following metabolic activities:

SL Factor is absorbed by the osteoblasts
SL Factor activates over 300 genes that stimulate the process of bone formation
BMP2 and RUNX2 production increases two-fold and reduces osteoclast formation by inhibiting the production of RANK ligand
Osteocalcin accumulation is enhanced in the extracellular matrix resulting in excellent mineralization
While stored in the osteoblast, SL Factor continues to stimulate bone growth after the synthetic matrix has been resorbed
Adipogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and ODF/RANK ligand expression is inhibited
Inflammation is reduced by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis
