C a s e d e s c r i p t i o n A 63-year-old female patient presenting with compromised fixed dental prostheses supported byfailing teeth in her posterior maxilla underwent transcrestal sinus floor elevation using a novel implant system. Implant failure,anycomplicationsandbonegainmeasuredusingconebeamcom- puted tomography (CBCT) were assessed. R e s u l t s The residual alveolarridge heightwas 3.2 mm.A14.5 mm length implant was placed and followed for 20 months. Bone gain was 18.5 mm after a healingperiodofeightmonths.Oneyearafterimplantloading,CBCTscans showed the stability of the grafted material. C o n c l u s i o n Hydraulic elevation of the Schneiderian membrane using the iRaise sinus lift system (Maxillent, Herzliya, Israel) can be considered a valuable treat- mentoptionfortherehabilitationofatrophicedentulousposteriormaxillae.
