Clinical Study

Simultaneous Sinus Lifting and Alveolar Distraction of a Severely Atrophic Posterior Maxilla for Oral Rehabilitation with Dental Implants

Table 3

The bone histomorphometric results for new bone formation and maturation were compared between the study group with alveolar distraction and simultaneous sinus lifting with bone grafting and a control group with sinus lifting only with the same bone graft at the time of implant placement in the simulated first molar area. Student’s -test was used to compare bone regeneration and new bone formation between the study group ( ) and control group ( ). Statistical significance was defined as .
