title: The use of a bone lid to close the anterior wall defect after surgery in the maxillary sinus.
abstract: 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.
