The sinus volume was measured after importing the CBCT file in DICOM format into Mimics software. After determining the sinus volume, the patients underwent sinus lift surgery, and the amount of material used during the surgery was measured. After the time required to repair the area, the CBCT image was taken again. Then, the changes in the volume of the maxillary sinus and the increase in the height of the maxillary ridge at the surgical site were calculated. Then, the second stage of the surgery was performed to place the implant at the implant site.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
