Online Published on 20 May, 2024. Abstract Implants in the posterior region of the atrophic maxilla having a pneumatized sinus often pose a challenge for the clinician. In order to make the implant site viable sinus augmentation needs to be conducted in the posterior atrophic maxilla. Being a technique sensitive procedure, proper knowledge on the anatomy of maxillary sinus is a must. This ensures proper implant placement and sinus augmentation as well as no post-operative complications. This review article explains the basic techniques involved, i.e., direct and indirect techniques along with their various adaptations used specifically for maxillary sinus elevation along with augmentation.
