Bone Substitutes, Calcium Phosphates, Hydroxyapatite, Rhodophyta, Sinus Floor Augmentation
Conditions
Brief summary
Twenty patients scheduled for lateral-window sinus floor Elevation (SFE) are randomized into two groups: use of SYMBIOS® Biphasic Bone Graft Material (Group 1) or of Algipore® Bone Substitution Material (Group 2). Biopsies are taken 3 months after SFE and during implant surgery after 6 months. One ground section per biopsy (n=40) is stained, scanned, and histomorphometrically analyzed for new bone, old bone, soft tissue, graft, bone infiltration of graft, bone-to-graft contact, and penetration depth.
Interventions
Patients will receive Symbios Bone Graft Material according to randomization Group.
Patients will receive Algipore Bone Substitution Material according to randomization Group.
