Twenty-four patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: Group I: (EMD+OSFE) (n=20 implants, 13 patients) OSFE with EMD application, and Group II 8OSFE): (n=20 implants, 11 patients) OSFE without EMD application. The patients will be recall at 3- and 12- months after surgery. The residual bone height (RBH), implant protrusion length (IPL), peri-implant sinus bone level (SBL), endo-sinus bone gain (ESBG), implant stability and peri-implant bone density values (Hounsfield units) will be assessed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of implants placed using osteotome sinus ﬂoor elevation (OSFE) with and without simultaneous enamel matrix derivative (EMD) application.
