Therefore, various techniques have been proposed in order to achieve the necessary bone dimension for the insertion of implants in previously compromised sites. Careful case and material selection corresponding to different indications can be beneficial to achieving predictable and consistent treatment outcomes in the posterior atrophic maxilla. The purpose of this review was to discuss the indications, contraindications, limitations, and case selection criteria used to determine treatment options for the different techniques. It is necessary to define case selection criteria according to the remaining crestal bone and the anatomy of the sinus cavity}, publisher = {Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Andalucía Oriental; Universidad de Granada}, keywords = {Maxillary sinus augmentation}, keywords = {Dental implant}, keywords = {Osteotome}, keywords = {Lateral wall}, keywords = {Bone graft}, title = {Treatment Options for the Atrophic Posterior Maxilla}, doi = {10.15568/am.2014.793.re01}, author = {Khouly, Ismael and Gallego-Rivero, Diego and Pérez, Alejandro and Khouly, Said and Cho, Sang-Choon and Froum, Stuart J.}, }
