Introduction: Lateral sinus lift is a common procedure in the field of dentistry, employed for the purpose of preparing the maxilla for subsequent dental implantation. This procedure is associated with a significant risk of intra- and postoperative complications, largely attributable to the presence of pathogenic microorganisms within the oral cavity and maxillary sinus.
