Inspired by an idea originating at the Consensus Conference on Maxillary Sinus of the Italian Society of Oral Surgery in 2001, the authors of this book have created a new, up-to-date text that brings together the most recent scientific discoveries and innovative clinical protocols for maxillary sinus augmentation as well as possible alternatives to these techniques. The book begins with anatomy, otorhinolaryngologic implications, and bone healing, then progresses to diagnostic, surgical, and patient-monitoring phases. An invaluable resource for both students and professional clinical experts.
