Schneiderian Membrane Repair With BioXclude
Use of BioXclude to repair sinus perforations is simple fast and effective. Working as a self adhering "patch" without the need for fixation, deepithelialized amnion-chorion allograft (Bioxclude) provides an effective solution to Schneiderian membrane repair.

The osteogenic potential of the maxillary sinus Schneiderian membrane was further explored in a recent publication by Drs. Insua, Monje, Urban, et al. Their findings support the rationale for perforation repair using BioXclude, a membrane which contributes to healing. The active signaling proteins within BioXclude support angiogensis and act as a stem cell "magnet" recruiting the body's own mesenchymal stem cells to the site.
Minimially Invasive Crestal Sinus Lift
- Perfect application for 12 x 12 mm size.
- Easily applied with an osteotome for repair or reinforcement.
- An additional BioXclude may be placed and left intentionally exposed over the immediate implant to expand zone and quality of keratinized tissue
Lateral Window Approach
For a lateral window approach a 20 x 30 mm size can be cut in half allowing for two 15 x 20 mm pieces: (1) piece to repair or reinforce the sinus membrane, and (1) a second piece to cover the lateral access window.

Proven Clinical Efficacy With BioXclude

The pre-operative CBCT reveals only 2 - 3 mm of native crestal bone. Schneiderian membrane perforation occurs during sinus augmentation. A dry BioXclude is placed on the perforation to repair, tightly sealing it once hydrated. Particulate bone is then packed into the sinus cavity.

All Augmentations allowed for Successful Restoration!
An additional BioXclude membrane is placed over the bone graft, covering the lateral window. Adequate bone is achieved at 5 months with implants placed and immediately loaded with a transitional prosthesis.
