Single‐stage sinus augmentation with cancellous iliac bone and anorganic bovine bone in the presence of platelet‐rich plasma in the miniature pig

Abstract

The mean bone implant content in the test and control group was 8.4% and 17.3% respectively (P=0.042). The mean height of newly formed mineralized bone in the augmented area of the test group was 3.6 mm and 5.7 mm respectively (P=0.342). In the PRP group, the mean area of newly formed bone in the base of the sinus was enhanced (75.23%) as compared to the control side (51.8%) (P=0.020(*)). Although PRP enhanced bone formation at the base of the maxillary sinus, it neither improved osseointegration of dental implants nor bone in-growth into the bone substitute under the selected experimental conditions.
