Abstract: Sinus floor augmentation is a predictable rehabilitation method for the atrophic posterior maxilla but having highly technical sensitivity and many complications. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a rare complication of osteotome sinus floor elevation. It usually occurs after the maxillary sinus floor is elevated through the alveolar ridge. The relevant literature is generally cases reports. At present, there is a lack of guidelines or consensus on complication management at home and abroad. Therefore, the Oral Implant Professional Committee of the Chinese Stomatological Association organized experts from major universities in China to discuss and draft this consensus, aims to provide clinicians with practical and feasible measures for preventing, diagnosing, and treating complications.
