The use of a bone lid to close the anterior wall defect after surgery in the maxillary sinus.
Surgery was performed in the maxillary sinus with restoration of the surgical defect in the anterior wall with a resutured bone-lid, in 12 patients with an average age of 45 years, the technique is described and evaluated clinically and radiographically (computed tomography). During the followup time of 1-4 years, the condition of the maxillary sinus was normalized. It is our opinion that the bone-lid technique for maxillary sinus surgery is useful, especially when good overview and access is necessary.
