For edentulous patients, an oral implant is the optimal treatment choice as it provides a longterm and reliable result. However, there are many challenges when carrying out such implants due to limitations related to the maxillary anatomical structure. These include a low bone density, the presence of bone resorption after extraction, the structure of the maxillary sinus and others. When ridge bone height is insufficient after resorption, this is a contra-indication for primary stability after implant placement has taken place. In order to cope with this problem, maxillary sinus lift is one of the treatment options that allows enough ridge bone height for implant to be obtained. In order to reduce surgical complications and obtain a better implant treatment outcome, it is necessary to understand the anatomy of the maxillary sinus and its variations, including its septa, volume, vascular pathways, the Schneiderian membrane, etc.
