The Effect of Demineralized Autogenous Tooth Block Bone on Lateral Sinus Augmentation: A Retrospective Study

Volume 2

When placing implants in the posterior maxilla, sinus floor elevation is often required due to insufficient alveolar bone volume. During the sinus augmentation procedure, the Schneiderian membrane is elevated, and the newly created space is filled with bone graft materials. Among various graft materials, autogenous bone is considered the most biologically suitable. However, harvesting autogenous bone can cause donor site morbidity and postoperative discomfort. Block-type autogenous tooth grafts are derived..
