Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation With Gelatin Sponge Versus Allogenic Demineralized Bone Matrix

Evaluation of Simultaneous Implant Placement and Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation With Gelatin Sponge Versus Allogenic Demineralized Bone Matrix: (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

The post-extraction pneumatization of the maxillary sinus often compromises the ability of the maxillary molar to the optimal recipient of dental implants as a consequence of the quantitative reduction of the vertical bone height and the reduced bone quality of the region posterior maxillary segment.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients of both sexes, with an age range of (25 to 55 years) with unilateral or bilateral edentulous posterior maxillary molar region with \ vertical residual bone height of (four to six millimeters), a minimal horizontal bone width of six millimeters bone width, acceptable interarch space, and fair inter-jaw anteroposterior, horizontal and vertical relationships.
2. Proper general health and oral hygiene.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The presence of sinusitis, local sinus pathosis, or a systemic disease that would affect the final treatment outcomes, bone remodeling process, or maxillary sinus health.
2. Those patients with a history of previous bone graft, sinus lift, or failed implant.
