Multidisciplinary Management of Candidates for Maxillary Sinus Augmentation by a Surgeon and ENT Specialist.

Maxillary sinus augmentation has been shown to be a predictable treatment option for placing dental implants in areas of posterior maxilla with lack of sufficient residual alveolar bone height.1 The transalveolar (crestal) and the lateral window are the main techniques for the maxillary sinus augmentation with the goal of creating a space beneath the Schneiderian membrane in which to place various grafting materials in order to increase alveolar bone height.
