Introduction to Indirect Sinus Lift with Hiossen CAS Kit
Indirect sinus surgery, or the crestal (transalveolar) sinus lift, is a minimally invasive technique used to elevate the Schneiderian membrane and place bone graft material through the alveolar ridge. The Hiossen Crestal Approach Sinus (CAS) Kit is specifically designed to perform this procedure safely and efficiently. It utilizes a combination of atraumatic, dome-shaped drills, stoppers, and membrane lifters to minimize the risk of membrane perforation, a key concern in sinus elevation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of using the Hiossen CAS Kit over conventional sinus lift techniques?
The CAS Kit offers a minimally invasive, predictable approach with reduced risk of sinus membrane perforation and faster recovery times compared to lateral sinus lifts.
How much residual bone height is required to use the CAS Kit?
A minimum of 5–6 mm of native bone is typically required to safely use the crestal approach with this system.
What makes the drills in the CAS Kit different?
The CAS drills have non-cutting dome-shaped tips designed to gently push and elevate the sinus floor rather than perforate it, enhancing membrane safety.
Can implants be placed immediately after using the CAS Kit?
Yes, in most cases with adequate primary stability, immediate implant placement is possible after sinus elevation using the CAS Kit.
What type of graft material is used with this technique?
Particulate bone grafts (such as xenografts or alloplasts) are most commonly used to support membrane elevation and new bone formation beneath the sinus.
