Histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis of human maxillary sinus‐floor augmentation using porous β‐tricalcium phosphate for dental implant treatment

Abstract

Our data suggest that TCP particles attract osteoprogenitor cells that migrate into the interconnecting micropores of the bone-substitute material by 6 months. The augmented site close to residual bone contained a higher proportion of bony tissue and a lower proportion of soft connective tissue than did the augmented site far from residual bone.
