Augmentation of the base of the maxillary sinus is one of the surgical procedures utilized in preparation for artificial root implantation in the maxilla. The authors intended to survey the causes of the lack of success (graft loss and implant failure) of sinus elevations with various graft materials or their combinations.
Following tooth loss it may be necessary to increase the amount of bone at the maxillary alveolar ridge into which dental implants are to be inserted. Augmentation of the maxillary sinus is performed for this purpose. It may be considered as a routine intervention, but like all surgical methods, it involves certain risks. The authors intended to assess the frequency of complications among the sinus-floor elevations that they have performed.
