Abstract

Aim: Rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla using sticky bone and simultaneous implant placement.
 Presentation of Cases: Sinus augmentation along with simultaneous implant placement prevents the additional surgery. This often benefits both the patient and the dentist. This case report highlights the sinus augmentation procedure for rehabilitation of a severely atrophic posterior maxilla using Sticky bone, a combination of Xenograft and Platelet rich fibrin with simultaneous dental implant placement.

Various sinus lift surgical procedures have been developed over the years, to increase residual alveolar ridge height. Implant placement is made easier by enhancing the posterior maxilla by various sinus augmentation procedure
 Conclusion: Direct sinus augmentation procedure using sticky bone for rehabilitation of severely atrophic posterior maxilla with simultaneous implant placement provides a reliable and predictable outcome.
