Abstract

Introduction

Sinus lifts have been around for more than four decades now, and the amount of changes that we have seen in techniques and armamentarium coupled with the advent of newer materials is worth taking note of.

Materials and Methods

A complete review of the literature was done since the advent of ways and means to augment the posterior maxilla with a run through of various advantages and disadvantages of the same.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we can say that this procedure is today very predictable and offers clinicians a possibility to rehabilitate the posterior maxilla with implant-based solutions.
