Algae‐derived hydroxyapatite behavior as bone biomaterial in comparison with anorganic bovine bone: A split‐mouth clinical, radiological, and histologic randomized study in humans

Abstract

Both combinations of materials exhibited bone formation after 6 months of healing in the maxillary sinus cavity. However, the combination with biphasic phycogenic biomaterial induced a higher radiographical vertical resorption and graft collapse in comparison with the combination with anorganic bovine bone, possibly due to a higher remodeling of the graft.
