Secondary sinus lift: a viable option to increase contact of bone to implant

The secondary sinus lift is a new treatment for patients with osseointegrated implants and insufficient height of the alveolar remnant. This can be caused by the loss of a graft after the initial procedure, or when the sinus has not been augmented in the first instance.1,2 Our protocol is simple. It means that the original implants do not need to be removed, and it aims to increase their stability and longevity (Fig. 1).
