INDIECT SINUS LIFT:A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Placing implants in the maxillary posterior region should always evaluate the maxillary sinus
and the anatomical landmarks. Various changes occur after extraction of the teeth such as a
decrease in bone height, pneumatization of the maxillary sinus, and many more. Placing an
implant in the edentulous posterior maxillary region will be difficult if the maxillary sinus is
in close approximation to the crestal bone. Various sinus augmentation techniques are
available to increase bone height. The technique which is safe to use could be an indirect
sinus lift procedure. The sinus lift procedure provides adequate stability and additional
anchorage of the implants. This case report presents maxillary sinus lift procedure using
indirect method.
