The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of newly forming bone graft (NFB) in the gain of bone volume in sinus lift procedures. It will be recruited for this study individuals 25-60 years of age, both genders, presenting a missing tooth at an upper premolar or molar region with 2-9 mm of remaining bone between alveolar ridge crest and sinus floor and the existence of an edentulous ridge or at least one tooth condemned to extraction. Sinus will be treated by NFB mixed to inorganic bovine bone - IBB (test; n= 8) or IBB (control; n= 8). The volume of bone tissue will be evaluated by computerized tomography obtained at baseline examination and 6 months after surgery. After this period, biopsies of hard tissue will be obtained during implant placement for histologic and histomorphometric analysis.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of newly forming bone graft (NFB) in the gain of bone volume in sinus lift procedures. For that, it will be compared the tomographic bone gain 6 months after surgery between a group that received inorganic bovine bone alone (n=8) and a group that received inorganic bovine bone associated with NFB (n=8).
