Osteotome-Induced Blood Clot and Subsequent Bone Formation with the Use of Collagen Sponge for Integration of Single Dental Implants into the Atrophied Posterior Maxilla: A Retrospective Follow-Up of 36 Implants after 5 to 13 years

<div>Outline of the parameters measured in the radiographs. A  the most apical point of the implant, B  the most coronal point of the implant, C  the original level of the maxillary floor, D  the most apical point of the new maxillary sinus floor. B–C  height of residual bone below the maxillary sinus before surgery (RBH). C-A  length of the implant inside the maxillary sinus. D  most apical point of new bone in contact with the implant. D-C  height of bone regeneration within the maxillary sinuses.</div>
