DOI:

Indirect sinus lift, Maxillary implants, minimally invasive procedure, Osseointegration, Sinus liftAbstract
Objective: To analyze the efficacy of indirect sinus lift procedure for maxillary dental implant placement.
Study Design: Prospective analytical study.
Place and Duration of Study: 28 Military Dental Centre/ Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi Lahore, from May 2021 to
April 2023.
Methodology: The study included 50 consecutive patients of 40 to 65 years of age presenting with missing upper maxillary
molar teeth with maxillary sinus extension in the alveolar ridge and requiring maxillary dental implant placement. Indirect
sinus lift and bone augmentation was carried out through the osteotomy site with concurrent dental implant placement in all
patients.
Results: Out of 50 patients 49(98%) have successful osseointegration of dental implant at 4 months follow-up without any
sinus complications. The mean procedure time was 25.00+5.00 minutes including osteotomy, bone graft and implant
placement.
Conclusion: Elevating maxillary sinus floor presents a crucial step in achieving optimal bone volume for dental implant
placement. Performed meticulously, indirect sinus lift technique is minimally invasive alternative to overcome the surgical
complications and risks involved with direct open surgical approach.
