Guided Surgery with Sinus Lift

A 66-year-old man with 4 implants in function returns requesting one more at the upper left sextant (Fig.1).  With the opposing implant at #18, two implants at #14 and 15 are necessary.  Can guided surgery be performed with sinus lift (Fig.2)?

I would do a lift first. Then scan and guide. Peter Shatz, DDS

With CT, it appears that 5x8.5 and 10 mm implants are to be placed without and with simultaneous sinus lift (Fig.3).  Take photos of the teeth with gingival erythema, as compared to the implants placed.
