Maxillary sinus is a delicate lining approaching bi aspects of oral and nasal cavities. Majority of the cases reuring maxillary posterior implants needs through estimation of sinus as the implants are in proximity post procedure. Decision making of grafting and non grafting techniques has a thin line of imagination and experience. A prevalent modality to increase the amount of available bone prior to implantation is grafting of the maxillary sinus. Multiple factors such as the surgical technique, moment of implant placement as well as grafting materials and membranes are known to affect implant survival. However, the role of different factor combinations and associated reciprocal effects remain unclear. Conventional statistical methods do not consider inconsistency of study designs and do not take covariables into account. Here by we present a review on different procedures for sinus lifting in implant placement by grafting and non-grafting methods as this line of demarcation is very important for the dentist, maxillofacial surgeon, periodontist, prosthodontists and implantologist to have complete knowledge for the same. Key words: Implant, Sinus, Graft, Techniques.
