Dr Eduardo Anitua, Spain
In recent decades, the maxillary sinus lift technique has undergone a significant evolution, leading to a paradigm shift in the surgical approach to the atrophic posterior maxilla.1–3 Traditionally, the lateral window sinus lift was considered the method of choice for increasing subantral bone volume, particularly in cases with minimal residual bone height.
