abstract = "Background: Presence of the maxillary sinus and low bone density in this area often could create a problem for prosthetic rehabilitation with dental implants. Sinus floor augmentation technique can successfully increase dimensions of the posterior maxilla for implant placement. Objective: To assess quality of newly formed bone for implant insertion after augmentation of the floor of the maxillary sinus using Digora for Windows computer programme. Materials and Methods: 30 patients with indications for sinus lift procedure were involved in this clinical study. Bone density was analyzed by Digora for Windows computer programme. Results: 16 patients completed this clinical study with preoperative and postoperative orthopantomographs. Conclusion: Cases with sufficient density and bone volume in the posterior maxilla require sinus lift technique with adequate bone graft for implant insertion. This is confirmed by pre- and post-operative analysis of radiographic images in Digora for Windows programme.",
