title: Minimally invasive sinus augmentation.
abstract: Sinus lift surgery has become more common as patients choose dental implants for tooth replacement. The recent development of a graft material that stimulates osteogenesis coupled with the application of tissue engineering principles has allowed for refinement of this surgical modality. A simple nontraumatic subantral sinus lift microsurgery is presented. This sinus lift microsurgery resulted in a 97% implant success rate.
