<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Introduction. Sinus lift operations are planned in atrophic maxillary residual alveolar bone.

To evaluate relationship between amount of residual alveolar bone and sinus lift dimension. Materials and Methods. 73 sinuses of 54 patients were included in to the study. Preoperative and postoperative cone beam computed tomography scan of sinus lift operation site was performed. The measurement of atrophic alveolar bone height, width and radiodensity in planned sinus lift area was done. Postoperatively sinus lift height, width and length were measured.
