Thesis title: Management of the Complications of Maxillary Sinus Augmentation
ental implant rehabilitation of the posterior maxillary region has always been a
challenging issue due to both alveolar ridge atrophy and sinus pneumatization.
Maxillary sinus augmentation is a well-known and predictable procedure in vertical
deficiencies of the posterior maxilla. To date, various techniques have been described
based on the physiology of intrasinus bone repair to obtain better outcomes.
Nevertheless, these procedures could also be associated with several intra- and
postoperative complications such as perforation of the sinus membrane, hemorrhage,
infection, graft resorption, and loss of the graft or implants. The aim of this research to
review the contemporary methods for maxillary sinus augmentation and to present
both recommendations for prevention and management of the associated
complications
