title: [Augmentation of the maxillary sinus by Le Fort osteotomy in endosseous implantology. A clinical case report].
abstract: The authors present a case of sinus floor elevation using Le Fort I osteotomy. They underline that, owing to its peculiarities, this type of intervention is indicated, in their opinion, for sinus floor elevation when both the vertical dimension and possible skeletal discrepancies require modification. They briefly describe the indications, peculiarities and contraindications.
