Abstract
Sinus grafting procedure is used to increase the osseous tissue for implant-supported prosthetic purposes. The sinus floor elevation (SFE) technique is the most commonly used technique for the implant rehabilitation of an atrophic posterior maxilla. SFE is a predictable procedure performed achieving high implant survival rate and its success depends on an accurate radiographic and clinical analysis.
