Sinus augmentation is a well-known approach to treating alveolar bone ridge atrophy in the posterior maxilla. The preparation of the lateral window is crucial. Its size, design, and position in the vestibular sinus wall may affect the intra- and postsurgical complication rates and affect the intrasurgical activity of both surgeons and assistants. The present paper describes a rational technique that also exploits the guided surgery approach for design and preparation of a lateral window for sinus augmentation, the Low Window Sinus Lift. To illustrate the use of this approach, a case is presented in which the 50-year-old patient had the left maxillary first molar extracted, followed two months later by sinus augmentation and placement of three implants. One year after delivery of the definitive prosthesis, all three implants were successful, and the prosthesis was fully functional. Controlled studies should be undertaken to assess whether this technique provides significant advantages compared to other sinus augmentation approaches.
上颌窦提升术是治疗上颌后牙区牙槽嵴萎缩的一种常用方法。外侧窗口的制备至关重要。其大小、设计以及在前庭窦壁中的位置可能会影响手术中和手术后的并发症发生率，并影响外科医生和助手的手术操作。本文描述了一种合理的技术，该技术还利用导向手术方法来设计和制备用于上颌窦提升的外侧窗口，即低位窗口上颌窦提升术。为说明该方法的应用，现介绍一例病例，一名50岁患者拔除了左上颌第一磨牙，两个月后进行了上颌窦提升并植入了三颗种植体。在最终修复体交付一年后，三颗种植体均成功，修复体功能完全正常。应进行对照研究，以评估该技术与其他上颌窦提升方法相比是否具有显著优势。
