In a sinus lift procedure, bone grafting is usually performed concomitantly. The mandibular coronoid process is an advantageous donor site for autogenous bone grafts. A clinical case of sinus bone grafting using the coronoid process of the mandible is presented here, along with the surgical technique to accomplish this procedure. A successful outcome was obtained in the patient, who experienced no functional problems.
