Sinus augmentation analysis of the gradient of graft consolidation: a split-mouth histomorphometric study

ConclusionOur results support the concept that osteogenesis initiates in regions proximal to the bony walls of the maxillary sinus and may be enhanced by them.Clinical relevanceThe nature of the grafting material had a greater influence on the degree of NB formation in regions distant from the native walls where there is reduced inherent osteogenic potential.
