Abstract:
Sinus lifting was introduced for prosthetic reconstruction in 1960 decades by Boyne and is specifically used for implant surgery in maxillary posterior region with insufficient bony height and has been indicated for reconstruction of oro- antral and palato-alveolar cleft. We report that subtotal maxillectomy using sinus lifting and skin graft in mild maxillary cancer cases results in good prevention of oro-antral and oro-nasal fistula by preserving intact maxillary sinus mucosa and improves better functional outcome after maxillectomy.
