Clinical Outcome of Implants Placed in Staged Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Using Bovine Bone Mineral Mixed with Autogenous Bone at Three Different Ratios: A 5-Year Prospective Follow-up Study.

CONCLUSION: According to the clinical results obtained, dental implants inserted in grafted (staged) SFE using a mixture of BBM with a minimal amount of AB harvested from local sites provide for similarly high 5-year implant/augmentation success rates as graft mixtures with AB harvested from peripheral intraoral or extraoral donor sites, confirming no need for additional bone harvesting.
