Tiny camera peers inside sinus to make dental implants safer

This small pilot study tested a new way to place dental implants in the upper jaw when there is not enough bone height. Surgeons used a special drill and a tiny camera to watch the sinus membrane during the procedure. The goal was to see how often the membrane gets torn, which can lead to sinus problems. Only 6 people took part, so the results are very early and not ready for widespread use.
