Abstract

The posterior edentulous maxilla presents the greatest obstacle to implant placement. The available bone height is insufficient for the primary stability of implants in this region due to the increased pneumatization of the sinus. Autogenous bone grafts, xenografts, and alloplastic material are among the grafting materials used for floor augmentation. Through a window that is cut into the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, this method allows for direct visualization and instrumentation of the sinus membrane. This case report depicts direct sinus lift using lateral window approach with the help of TOLA kit and delayed implant placement after adequate bone formation.
