title: [The planning and intervention for bilateral lift augmentation of the sinus floors in implant surgery. A case report].
abstract: The authors report a clinical case in which the inadequacy of bone to receive implants at the maxillary level was resolved by bilateral sinus elevation. In the reported case, two sinus elevations were performed as well as two isolations of the mental nerves and 10 osseointegrated implants under general anesthesia in a single session. In a preliminary approach, the patient was studied by CT using an acrylic mask to optimize the grafted sites and improve the interpretation of the CT scan imaging. A description is presented of the technique used for the sinus elevation. Clinical indications for this procedure are described as well as the replacement material. The sinus elevation procedure enlarges the area of utilization of osseointegrated implants and lends itself to a good application in the current studies on active molecules in the cell replication and in guided tissues regeneration.
