Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (also known as a sinus lift, sinus graft, or sinus augmentation) is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla by lifting the Schneiderian membrane and placing a bone graft. After upper jaw tooth loss, the bone may shrink and the sinus cavity can expand into the space.
