Hyaluronic Matrix Efficacy for Maxillary Sinus Augmentation

Evaluation of Hyaluronic Matrix, Used With Xenograft, Efficacy in Sinus Augmentation by Histomorphometry and Micro Computed Tomography

Sinus augmentation is a predictable method when alveolar bone height is not sufficient for dental implant placement in posterior maxillary alveolar region..The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study is comparison of hyaluronic acid originated matrix and equine derived xenograft with only xenograft use in sinus augmentation by micro computed tomography and histomorphometry.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Systemically healthy patients
• Requiring bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation (residual crest height ≤ 4 mm)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Advanced systemic diseases
• Chronic medication use
• Maxillary sinus disease
• Current pregnancy
• Lactation
• Smoking habit
