Biomechanical Stability of Dental Implants in Augmented Maxillary Sites: Results of a Randomized Clinical Study with Four Different Biomaterials and PRF and a Biological View on Guided Bone Regeneration

Figure 19

Cumulative ITV-comparison notched box plot of the subperiosteal tunnel procedure (SP) in the anterior maxilla and the INTRALIFT-procedure (IL) with BiSHB (e-gCRYSTAL), MoSHB (e-gCLASSIC), MoSHB + Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) (e-gCLASSIC + PRF), synthetic granulate HA/SiO₂ (ILNanobone), bovine graft (ILBioOss), control group SP (SPControl), and control group IL (ILControl) depicts the interquartile range (IQR) between the 25th and 75th percentile of the specific biomaterial tested where 50% of the data points were located. Additionally, the upper whiskers represent data within the 75th percentile +1.5 times the IQR. The lower whisker delimits data of the 25th percentile −1.5 times the IQR. Circles (°) represent the outliers. Within the boxes the notches mark the confidence interval based on the median ± 1.58 (IQR/sqrt of ) ( = number of measurements). Additionally, the mean value is indicated by a black square and the cross symbol (+) displays the standard deviation.
