[Maxillary sinus lifting, bone graft, and simultaneously placement of implants].
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of maxillary sinus floor lifting by bone graft for immediate implantation.


METHODS
12 maxillary sinus underwent sinus floor bone graft and simultaneously 24 implants olacement. The mean time of follow up was 14 months.


RESULTS
There were no implant loose or lost, no clinical complaint of the maxillary sinus area, and X-ray exam showed well osseointegration in 6 months postoperatively. Abnormal sensitivity of chin area were found in 8 patients after bone graft taken from chin, but the sensitivity became normal spontaneously in 3-12 months postoperatively.


CONCLUSIONS
Successful maxillary sinus floor bone graft with simultaneously placement of implant is predictable.
