There was no significant difference in new bone formation between the test and control group with n = 7. The results may be dominated by the high mineral content of the biomaterial but could nevertheless be valuable for meta-analysis in the future.
An evident decrease in graft volume over the first 6 months of healing has to be expected irrespectively of graft composite. Neither BMA nor BMAC seem to have an evident impact. Overaugmentation seems recommendable in two-stage maxillary sinus surgery.
An evident decrease of graft volume over the first 6 months of healing has to be expected irrespective of bone graft composite. Autogenous bone seems to have no evident impact on the volume decrease when added to BCP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
