- Postoperative sinusitis,

- Chronic oroantral fistula.

– Sinus augmentation using Hydrodinamic Piezoelectric Internal Sinus Elevation (HPISE);

– Protrusion of the implant over maxillary sinus mucosa;

– Sinus augmentation: sinusitis-free, bone graft free, infection-free approaches;

– New bone formation in the maxillary sinus:

- Without bone grafts,

- Using only absorable gelatine sponge,

- Using peripheral venous blood,

- With bone grafts.

– Rate of postoperative sinusitis;

– Techniques of closing sinus membrane perforations;

– Simple 3-D augmentation using Sohn`s Augmentation-New Tenting Abutment (SANTA);
