Abstract
Abstract A variety of surgical techniques have been developed to reconstruct the posterior maxilla when bone volume is insufficient. A barrier membrane or bone window pushed inside the sinus cavity as the ‘‘roof’’ of the sinus cavity for preserve the space and help bone. The heterologous cortical lamina is used for the mechanical support, without any grafting material, of sinus membranes resulting in only bone tissue formation and not mixed with the graft.
