Abstract: Sinus floor elevation is a well-established technique but with high technical sensitivity. Postoperative infection including sinus infection and graft infection is one of the major complication, which could cause severe problems though the incidence is not high. Bone augmentation procedures in the posterior maxilla increase dramatically as the demands for dental implant therapy from patients grow rapidly in China. The treatment and prevention of postoperative infection has drawn more and more attention from clinicians. But there is still a lack of consensus on the management of the complications. Therefore, the Chinese Society of Oral Implantology has organized the conference to discuss and draft the expert consensus, which aims to provide clinicians with guidelines for preventing, diagnosing and treating the complications of sinus infection and sinus graft infection.

Key words: Sinus floor elevation, Sinus infection, Sinus graft infection, Expert consensus
