Abstract
This report describes a minimally invasive procedure for tooth autotransplantation with bone-added sinus floor elevation for patients with insufficient bone in the posterior maxilla. The procedure was performed in patients whose residual bone height beneath the maxillary sinus floor was insufficient, but whose bone width was sufficient for a donor tooth. Postoperatively, bone formation was seen over the root apex of the transplanted tooth radiographically and stable occlusal function was obtained. The surgical technique is considered reliable and minimally invasive, with limited incision and minimal bone harvest.
