The bone lid technique for maxillary sinus augmentation provides repeatable results in terms of bone height increase. The favorable clinical outcomes can be related to an enhancement of bone formation due to the unique osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties of autogenous bone, along with a reduction of soft tissue ingrowth. Complications were not observed in any of the patients following the surgical procedures. The risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation is inversely proportional to membrane thickness; the thinner the membrane is, the higher the risk to perforate it.
