About this trial
Background: Implant placement in the posterior maxilla is problematic procedure, not only due to inferior properties of bone but also due to loss of vertical bone height, which happens after extraction of posterior teeth. When the required additional height is few millimeters, indirect transcrestal sinus lifting is recommended. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate Densah bur versus Magnetic mallet in transcrestal sinus lifting procedure in edentulous molar and premolar maxillary region.
