Sinus graft complications. Problem solving.
Restoration of the posterior maxilla involving sinus bone grafting demonstrates both surgical and prosthetic problems that treating clinicians should recognize and explain to patients prior to any invasive treatment. If a sinus graft is lost, the alternatives to treatment are explained. However, if the practitioners follow a step-by-step protocol and use retrievable prostheses, a long-term, favorable prognosis results.
