BLANCO MEDEROS, Félix M  and  LIMA REYNA, María Teresa. Pre-prosthetic preparation for dental implants through maxillary sinus lifting. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.5, pp. 646-655. ISSN 1684-1824.

There are many patients assisting the consultation for prosthetic rehabilitation through bone-integrated implants in the posterior maxilla, due to an insufficient vertical bone availability caused by the presence of the maxillary sinus. To solve this lack of bone height, it is necessary to carry out procedures aimed to increasing the bone quantity in this area; the procedure is known as maxillary sinus lifting. This paper’s aim was presenting a case of this technique application, using filling materials that make possible longer implants placement by the implantologist and have influence in the treatment success.

Keywords : maxillary sinus; bone-integrated implants; dental implants.
