Contact relationship between sub-antral space and surrounding tissue. Smc: the contact area of sub-antral space with schneiderian membrane. Sr: the surface area of the removed lateral bone wall. Sbc: the contact area of sub-antral space with maxillary sinus bone. Sj: the surface area of an imaginary plane, which divides the sub-antral space into upper and lower parts, the upper part contacts the Schneiderian membrane, while the lower part contacts the sinus bone
