Abstract
Rehabilitating the posterior atrophic maxilla presents a significant challenge due to the need to create sufficient bone volume for implant placement. The amount of existing bone height is critical in deciding between a one-stage or two-stage lateral sinus lift procedure. This review investigates the feasibility of implant placement in the atrophic maxilla during simultaneous maxillary sinus floor augmentation, focusing on implant survival rates, particularly when the bone height is less than 5 mm. By analyzing implant survival rates in this specific scenario, this comprehensive review contributes to the understanding of successful implant integration in the posterior atrophic maxilla.
