Brief summary
The purpose of this split-mouth clinical study is to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and histological outcomes of lateral window sinus augmentation with a bovine xenograft or a CPS putty bone substitute in posterior maxillary sites and the survival of implants placed in these sites following healing.

Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Adult patients with non-contributory medical history that will present for bilateral sinus lift surgery prior to implant placement
Exclusion criteria
* Patients that will not agree to participate in this study or sign the consent form * More than 8mm of residual bone height at the implant site * Subjects smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day * History of acute sinus infection * History of prior maxillary sinus surgery (Caldwell-Luc, direct or indirect sinus lift, etc) * Medications that affect bone healing (chronic steroid regimen, oral or IV bisphosphonates, etc.) * Patients allergic to bovine derivatives * Patients who are a carrier of transmissible disease(s) that may unnecessarily expose laboratory personnel to risks * Females during pregnancy or lactation or females that plan to become pregnant in the following year (pregnancy test prior to enrollment)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of new bone growth in the maxillary sinus | 7 months(plus minus 1 month) | Difference between the percentage of new bone growth between the two groups as determined by histomorphometric analysis of bone cores retrieved during implant placement surgery. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gain in vertical bone height | 6 months (plus or minus 1month) | Patients will be seen for radiographic evaluation post-sinus surgery. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be obtained and a blinded investigator will evaluate the vertical bone height at the sites. |
| Radiographic bone density | 6 months (plus or minus 1 month) | Patients will be seen for radiographic evaluation. A cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) will be obtained and a blinded investigator will evaluate the volumetric grey values at each site as an index of bone quality. |
| Primary implant stability | 7 months (plus or minus 1 month) | Primary stability of implants placed in the augmented sinuses will be evaluated as a clinical index of bone density. |
| Marginal bone level maintenance | 12 months(plus or minus 1 month) | Intraoral radiographs, using a paralleling technique, with customized film holders will be obtained at baseline (time of abutment connection) and at the 12-month follow-up visit and evaluated by an independent investigator to assess marginal bone levels around the implant platform. The measurements will be performed mesially and distally of each implant. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Implant success | 2nd stage, 6&12 months post-loading | Patients will be evaluated for clinical symptoms and implant success using predetermined criteria. |
