Abstract
Sinus augmentation is a predictable procedure that is often required when restoring the posterior maxilla with dental implants. Even with high success rates, careful pre-surgical planning is crucial. A 3D model is a valuable aid for the clinician as it allows for pre-operative simulation, which can reduce surgical time, reduce the risk of intra-operative complications and decrease the potential for error. The aim of this case report is to focus on how such a model is useful when undertaking a sinus augmentation procedure with simultaneous implant placement.
