Implant Placement in Posterior Maxillary Ridge after graftless Indirect Sinus Lift- A Case Report
Arundeep S. Brar, Vivek Sharma, Madhu Gupta, Rachna Jain, Gagandeep, Deepak Kumar

The posterior maxilla presents several challenges to the implantologist. Implant dentistry has become an excellent treatment modality since its inception into the modern era of dentistry. When patients present with deficient alveolar ridges, it could jeopardize the application of implant dentistry. This problem is especially magnified in the posterior maxilla where ridge resorption and sinus pneumatization are often encountered. The procedure of choice to restore this anatomic deficiency is maxillary sinus floor lift up. The indirect approach for sinus lift is less invasive and less complex and therefore a better alternative for such cases. In the present case closed sinus floor elevation method without the use of any bone graft or bone augmentation material was done and the result was satisfactory.
Key words:  Maxillary sinus floor lift up, Implant, Indirect approach, Posterior maxilla, Implant.
