Maxillary sinus surgery is a reliable and predictable treatment option for the prosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic maxilla.

The aim of this paper is to report the results of a clinical consensus of experts (periodontists, implantologists, maxillofacial surgeons, ENT, and microbiology specialists) on several clinical questions and to give clinical recommendations on how to prevent, diagnose, and treat postoperative infections.<jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. A panel of experts in different fields of dentistry and medicine, after having reviewed the available literature on the topic and taking into account their long-standing clinical experience, gave their response to a series of clinical questions and reached a consensus.<jats:italic>Results and Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The incidence of postop infections is relatively low (2%\u20135.6%). A multidisciplinary approach is advisable.
