Core Tip: The bone block harvested from the lateral window sinus lift as a shell for simultaneous horizontal bone augmentation can effectively address cases with insufficient bone height and width. This approach enables two-dimensional bone augmentation, leading to successful implant placement and restoration, as demonstrated in this case study.
