[A case of dental implant treatment with sinus lift for the maxillary molar sites].
METHODS
Implant treatment with sinus lift was conducted in a 53-year-old male patient who had bilateral edentulous posterior maxilla with a limited bone volume of the sinus floor. One year later, the mobility at the anterior teeth of the maxilla increased and then decreased due to occlusal adjustment. The left posterior teeth of the mandible were extracted due to severe periodontitis and two implants were placed.


CONCLUSIONS
In this case, the patient was highly satisfied with the above treatment. When the eccentric movement is guided by natural teeth in implant oral rehabilitation, it is important for the long-term results to consider the change of the occlusal contact.


CONCLUSIONS
Implant treatment with bone augmentation is useful to obtain excellent clinical results in spite of the commensurate difficulties for the patient.
