Fulltext PDFThe presented case report showcases the implementation of a digital workflow for a lateral approach sinus augmentation procedure using a stackable surgical guide (SSG). The integration of digital technologies in implant dentistry has revolutionized treatment planning and execution, leading to improved accuracy and efficiency in treatment workflows. This report shows a step-by-step digital workflow utilized in a sinus augmentation procedure for a future implant placement, highlighting the benefits of using a stackable guide system. Through the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), digital planning software, and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), precise sinus augmentation with bone grafting placement was achieved, resulting in a successful outcome.
