The maxillary posterior edentulous region can present a challenging condition for dental implant placement.

The Posterior maxilla dental implant reconstruction for advanced alveolar ridge atrophy has become possible through bone grafting procedures involving the maxillary sinus. This procedure involves augmentation of either the internal or the external aspects of the sinus, or both. With the advent of new surgical techniques and equipment, sinus augmentation has become a predictable and efficient treatment to provide.

This sinus portion of this presentation will focus on the external or lateral approach and internal or crestal approach using the crestal, lateral approach kits and Piezosurgery.
