Comparative Evaluation of Endo-sinus Bone Augmentation After Osteotome Sinus Floor Elevation Without Grafting Using Two Radiographic Methods.

CONCLUSION: Measurement errors could be relatively minimized when using CBCT. Using the osteotome sinus floor elevation technique without grafting, approximately 2 mm of endo-sinus bone could be acquired. The final endo-sinus bone gain was positively correlated with implant protrusion length at baseline. Small bone block elevated intraoperatively did not gain more endo-sinus bone.
