Furthermore, digital technology is expected to be applied extensively to sinus augmentation, which is an advanced technique for implant surgery. This study introduces a simple method for a safer and more precise lateral window opening for sinus augmentation using a navigation program. Methods: Five eligible patients with residual alveolar bone of 4 mm or less are presented, requiring lateral approach for sinus augmentation. Navigation system was opted for the sinus lift with simultaneous implant placement. Virtual planning started with establishing the adequate position of the lateral window based on the radiographic images and the scanned file of the dentition. The position of the window was indicated on the guide within the program. Afterwards, the virtually designed surgical guide was fabricated either with 3D printer or milling machine for the actual surgery. Results: All the patients who underwent surgery with the surgical guide showed no sign of clinical complications including pain, swelling, nausea, epistaxis, or early loss of the implants. Results of radiographic evaluation also showed adequate placement of the implants in a pre-planned position, and the sinus window was also formed in the desired location. Conclusion: Lateral window opening combined with digital navigation system is believed to be a promising technique for a more precise as well as safer sinus augmentation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17113785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,27]],"date-time":"2020-05-27T05:35:52Z","timestamp":1590557752000},"page":"3785","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A Simple and Safe Approach for Maxillary Sinus Augmentation with the Advanced Surgical Guide"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Seoung-Won","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang 14068, Korea"},{"name":"Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4446-6772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byoung-Eun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang 14068, Korea"},{"name":"Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"},{"name":"Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyeong-Jun","family":"Cheon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang 14068, Korea"},{"name":"Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Won-Seok","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang 14068, Korea"},{"name":"Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ju-Won","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang 14068, Korea"},{"name":"Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"},{"name":"Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0739-7971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Soo-Hwan","family":"Byun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang 14068, Korea"},{"name":"Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"},{"name":"Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-849X.1995.tb00322.x","article-title":"Anatomic site evaluation of edentulous maxillae for dental implant placement","volume":"4","author":"Razavi","year":"1995","journal-title":"J.
