Sinus lift is a common dental procedure performed in patients with deficient alveolar ridges in maxillary back tooth region, which could jeoparadize the application of implant. Deficiency of ridge is generally due to resorption or bone pneumatization.
Maxillary sinus Augmentation or sinus lift is a surgical procedure which aims to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla, in the area of molar & premolar teeth, by lifting the lower schneiderian (sinus) membrane and placing a bone graft. The goal of this procedure is to graft extra bone into the sinus space, to achieve more support for dental implant.
