ABSTRACT Placement of an implant is a complex procedure in maxillary posterior region where the bone height is not adequate with close proximity of the sinus. These situation demands an attempt to lift the sinus lining to avoid any injury to maxillary sinus during implant placement. Magnetic mallet is one of the most innovative surgical device which are able to improve working standards in sinus lift procedure with negligible chances of perforating a mucosa of maxillary sinus. In this case report magnetic mallet has been used to lift the sinus during implant placement which was a non-invasive and non-traumatic procedure. It is comparatively easier and faster than other methods of lifting a sinus.
