Histological Assessment of BMAC Utilized in Sinus Lift

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Aim : The aim of present study was to evaluate BMAC/bovine graft utilization in Sinus membrane augmentation on bone quality and quantity. Methodology: sixteen patients suffering from atrophic posterior maxilla with sinus pneumatization were randomly divided into two equal groups: study group: the sinus membrane was elevated with BMAC/bovine graft whereas the control group recieved bovine graft only for sinus floor augmentation.

All patients will be evaluated at 1 week, 4 months to measure bone height and bone core biopsy for histological assessment at 4 months during implant placement.

• Highly motivated patients

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients suffering from any systemic disease or those under any medication that may interfere with normal bone healing.

• Patients suffering from any sinus pathosis.
