Lateral Window Sinus Augmentation
Conditions
Keywords
Bone graft, Lateral window approach, Sinus augmentation, Volumetric change
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the stability and volumetric changes of the grafting materials used for lateral window sinus augmentation. In addition, different variables known to affect bone stability and remodeling with regard to the augmentation procedure will be evaluated. Similarly, implant placement will be performed and results will be evaluated after a period of six months.
Detailed description
This will be a prospective clinical study evaluating the stability and volumetric change of two grafting materials used in lateral window sinus augmentation procedure (anorganic bovine bone xenograft alone compared to a mixture of allograft and anorganic bovine bone xenograft). Participants will have the same surgical treatment of the lateral window sinus augmentation procedure. Participants will have a simultaneous implant placement at the time of sinus augmentation procedure or a delayed implant placement based on the stability of the implant evaluation. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be used to evaluate the volumetric changes between two groups of graft material in sinus augmentation procedure at three time points: pre-operatively, two weeks post-operation and six months post-operation. Biopsies will be harvested after six months for histological and histomorphometric analysis.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Graft volumetric stability change | CBCT taken at 2 weeks after the procedure and 6 months after the procedure of sinus augmentation to assess the volumetric changes of the graft material | CBCT will be the primary tool to evaluate the volumetric stability of the graft material used in the sinus augmentation procedure |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Histomorphometric analysis | After 6 months of sinus augmentation procedure when the implant is placed | Identify histological differences between two groups of graft material in sinus augmentation procedure |
