An adequate quality and quantity of bone is essential for successful implant therapy. The posterior edentulous maxillary region present special challenges to the implantologist that is unique to this region compared with other areas of mouth. Most important among these is the presence of maxillary sinus. To increase the amount of bone in the maxilla, sinus lift procedure have been developed. For this there are mainly two techniques: Direct approach which includes approaching the sinus laterally using either one step or two step antrostomy and the indirect approach which include approaching the sinus through alveolar crest using an osteotome. The indirect approach is less invasive as compared to direct approach. In the present case closed sinus floor elevation method without the use of any bone graft or bone augmentation material was done and the result was satisfactory.
