Maxillary sinus floor augmentation [1] (also known as a sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus augmentation, or sinus procedure) is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla, in the area of the premolar and molar teeth by lifting the lower sinus membrane and placing a bone ...
A maxillary implant is an implant that is placed between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses. It is inserted during a sinus lift or augmentation, and is used to increase the amount of bone to support dental implants. [1] Implants are either inserted after drilling, or by using a non-drilling method known as the osteotome technique. [1]

Steroid-eluting sinus stents may be used in addition to endoscopic sinus surgery. They are, however, of unclear benefit as of 2015. [1] One version releases mometasone furoate. It is a bioabsorbable steroid-eluting stent. It delivers steroids over a 30-day period prior to dissolving. [2]
