- Title
Maxillary Sinus Lift Procedure Efficacy and Adversities: A Review Article.
- Authors
Balakrishnan; Ebenezer, Vijay
- Abstract
Sinus lift procedure is a procedure used to augment bone thickness of the maxillary sinus for better survivability of dental implants. The maxillary sinus floor augmentation was 1st done by Oscar Hilt Tatum Jr, in 1974. Since then the procedure has been refined and revised over the years. Yet it has a few adverse effects such as perforation, tearing of the antral lining and haemosinus. In this article we see that sinus lift surgery is as versatile as the surgeon is and in some cases if not done properly, can result in severe morbidity.
