[Maxillary sinus lifting, bone graft and simultaneous placement of implants: reports of 9 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of maxillary sinus floor lifting by bone graft for immediate implantation.


METHODS
10 maxillary sinus underwent sinus floor bone graft and 12 simultaneously implants placement.


RESULTS
There were no implants loose or lost; X-ray examination showed well osseointegration and no maxillary sinustitus. Sinus floors were lifted 5-10mm, with a mean value of 7.5mm. All the implants placement had been repaired in 6 to 7 months postoperatively.


CONCLUSIONS
Maxillary sinus floor bone graft with simultaneous placement of implant is predictable.
