Abstract
Dental implant placement is critical in posterior maxilla with excessively resorbed residual ridges. Maxillary sinus lift is a surgical procedure which aims to upsurge the quantity of bone in the posterior region of maxilla, by lifting the lower Schneiderian membrane and inserting a bone graft. It happens because of pneumatization of sinus after loss of tooth in posterior region of maxilla. There are fundamentally two techniques of maxillary sinus grafting viz. lateral approach and crestal approach. Each of them is having its own indications, advantages and drawbacks. Elementary aim of sinus lift procedure is to generate bone essential for osseointegration of dental implants. Studies have shown that sinus lift procedures are having superior treatment outcome in comparison to use of short length implant for prosthetic rehabilitation of missing teeth in posterior region of maxilla. This paper flings light on various clinical contemplations related to maxillary sinus lift and grafting for successful outcome of implant supported prosthesis treatment.
