Material and methods: 12 Press-fit implants were inserted in the posterior maxilla for 8 patients by immediate sinus floor elevation with synthetic bone grafts. All implants obtained the primary stability with stabilizers of titanium mesh membranes and mini screws. Patients got over implants prosthesis after 3-6 months. Results: 11 implants of 12 have been well Osseointegrated. Patients were satisfied by using this technique. As to success rate it was 91.6%. Conclusion: This study showed that internal sinus lifting in poor residual bone height is Not a contra indication for Simultaneous Implants with Internal Sinus Lifting
