Sinus lift


Maxillary sinus floor augmentation[1] (also known as a sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus augmentation, or sinus procedure) is a surgical procedure used to increase the amount of bone in the upper back part of the jaw (posterior maxilla) by lifting the lower Schneiderian membrane and placing a bone graft.[2]
