Abstract: Tooth loss in the maxillary posterior region often leads to the lack of vertical bone mass between the maxillary sinus floor and the alveolar crest in the missing region. Maxillary sinus floor augmentation is the mainstream method to solve vertical bone mass deficiency in the posterior maxillary region. Since the 1960s, from origin to develop until maturity, the research of maxillary sinus floor augmentation has been continuously innovated. This article reviewed the evolution, common complications and management of maxillary sinus floor augmentation, bone grafting, pathological changes and management of maxillary sinus, and the influence of anatomic factors of maxillary sinus on osteogenesis.

Key words: Maxillary sinus floor augmentation, Maxillary sinus anatomy, Bone grafting
