Q

When can sinus lift procedures contribute to acute maxillary sinusitis?

When the sinus is overfilled

*significant disruption of the sinus membrane allows exposure of the graft material to the open sinus and possible contamination by nasal bacteria. (This is why you must place a membrane cover befor you place bone graft)
