    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • The sinus lift and graft technique, introduced in 1975, has evolved into a state-of-the-art surgical procedure.
    • Early controversies regarding its efficacy have been resolved, establishing it as a reliable method for increasing maxillary bone height.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and illustrate three variations of the basic sinus lift surgery and graft operation.
    • To provide up-to-date information on the sinus lift procedure for general practitioners and specialists.
    • To discuss factors influencing surgical outcomes and the management of potential complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Description and illustration of three sinus lift surgical variations: hinge osteotomy, elevated osteotomy, and complete osteotomy.
    • Discussion of additional considerations impacting surgical success.
    • Outline of complication management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • The sinus lift and graft technique is a well-established procedure for augmenting maxillary bone.
    • Three distinct surgical approaches (hinge osteotomy, elevated osteotomy, complete osteotomy) are presented.
    • Key factors for successful outcomes and complication management are highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • The sinus lift and graft technique is a highly effective and standard procedure in modern dentistry.
    • Understanding the variations and associated factors is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
    • This article serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians performing or considering sinus lift procedures.
