Volumetric Analysis of Allogeneic and Xenogeneic Bone Substitutes Used in Maxillary Sinus Augmentations Utilizing Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Prospective Randomized Pilot Study

The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical pilot study was to compare the three-dimensional changes of grafted maxillary sinuses when deproteinized bovine bone (DBB) or cortical mineralized allogeneic bone (MAB) was used.Seventeen patients were randomly assigned to receive either DBB or MAB for lateral-approach maxillary sinus augmentation. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed preoperatively (T0), immediately after...
