Abstract

The premature loss of maxillary molars usually leads to pronounced atrophy of the posterior maxillary alveolar ridge and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus [1]. The original sinus lift was performed via a lateral approach by Tatum in 1974—no graft material was used. Tatum presented his findings in 1976 at the Alabama Implant Congress [2]. In 1980, Boyne and James published about sinus grafting using autogenous bone, again using a lateral approach [3]. The lateral approach maxillary sinus lift soon become the standard and the graft materials used began to shift away from autogenous bone [4, 5] (Fig. 11.1).
