Technique for stabilization of autogenous cancellous bone grafts in sinus lift procedures.

Densely packed autogenous cancellous bone was stabilized in a sinus lift procedure with cortical cancellous struts. These struts were placed above the cancellous bone and rigidly fixed to the buttress and anterior sinus wall with titanium screws. This technique enables the clinician to maintain and stabilize bone graft materials in sinus lift procedures.
