Aim:The aim of this study was to assess the effect of augmentation using mineralized plasmatic matrix versus autogenous bone graft on bone formation and implant stability.Methodology: Twenty Implants were inserted in the maxillary premolar and molar region after augmentation of 8 maxillary sinuses in 6 patients, divided into 2 groups, study group received MPM as a graft, while the control group received autogenous particulate bone.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding implant stability immediately after implant insertion; however, after 5-month stability in the study group was statistically significantly higher than the control group. The mean change in bone height after 4 months in the study group was statistically significantly higher than in the control group.
Conclusion:The use of MPM in osseous regeneration and implant therapy has a positive impact on the outcome of the grafting surgery when used for open sinus lifting.
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.
