Infra-sinus residual ridge height was measured preoperatively on CBCT scans using Planmeca Romexis\u00ae software. Intraoperative measurements were recorded during indirect sinus lift osteotomy using a depth gauge from the CAS kit. Preoperative CBCT measurements were compared with intraoperative findings.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n \n Statistical analysis was performed using Jamovi version 2.3.28 software. The Shapiro\u2013Wilk test was applied to assess the normality of numerical variables. As the data were non-normally distributed, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine the significance of differences between CBCT and intraoperative measurements. A\n p<\/jats:italic>\n -value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean infra-sinus residual ridge height measured on CBCT was 4.66 \u00b1 0.798 mm, while the mean intraoperative measurement was 6.50 \u00b1 1.074 mm. The difference between the two measurement methods was statistically significant (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001), indicating a consistent underestimation of ridge height by CBCT.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n CBCT consistently underestimates infra-sinus residual ridge height by approximately 1.86 mm when compared with intraoperative measurements. Although CBCT remains indispensable for pre-surgical planning, reliance on CBCT alone may be insufficient for sinus lift procedures, particularly in borderline cases. A dual-modality approach combining CBCT evaluation with intraoperative verification improves accuracy and safety, thereby supporting evidence-based and precise clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n
