Maxillary Sinus Augmentation and Dental Implant Placement: A Case Report

Abstract

Muhammed Yakin

Maxillary sinus augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla, particularly in cases where there is insufficient bone height for dental implant placement. The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and placing a bone graft in the sinus cavity to promote new bone formation. This case report describes the successful rehabilitation of a patient with maxillary posterior edentulism through maxillary sinus augmentation and subsequent dental implant placement. The report highlights the diagnostic process, treatment planning, surgical technique, and postoperative outcomes.
