Abstract: The search for dental implants has become a widely used dental practice; however, there are patients who do not have sufficient bone volume to receive the implant. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) contains a relevant response in the performance of these primary phases of osseointegration stability. Thus, the study aims to analyze the efficiency and application of LLLT in maxillary sinus lifting within implantology, highlighting its benefits, limitations, importance, and impact on oral health. It was a narrative literature review, with the selection of scientific articles found in the databases: PubMed, LILACS, BVS, SciELO, and Google Scholar, without a defined publication period, with the crossing of the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and the adoption of the boolean operators "AND" and "OR." The ideal amount of bone height is important for rehabilitation with dental implants, and in certain cases, maxillary sinus lifting becomes necessary to expand the residual bone height in the maxilla through elevation of the Schneiderian membrane. Thus, the literature presents various ways to use LLLT in implantology, from the beginning of cleaning in the region that will receive the implant to its surgical implementation, which shows excellent improvement in osseointegration action, alleviating discomfort related to postoperative and surgical planning. Although there are controversial studies on the application of LLLT in maxillary sinus lifting for implant placement, it is evident that its use yields effective results in the healing and repair process of bone tissues. Keywords: Low Intensity Laser Therapy, Dental Implants, Lifting the Floor of the Maxillary Sinus.
