Aim: To assess the efficacy of cyanoacrylate adhesive in the management of large perforations of the maxillary sinus membrane during sinus lifts. Material and methods: Eight rabbits were used in the study. Sinus membrane perforation(about 1.5cm) was repaired with cyanoacrylate adnesive on one side of the maxillary sinus and the opppsite side was used as a control. Histological evaluation was performed 4 weeks after the operation. Results: Histological studies showed normal healing of the sinus membrane across the site of previous perforation and no evidence of inflammation. Conclusion: Our results support the clinical use of cynoacrylate adhesive for repairing sinus membrane perforation.
