Maxillary Sinus Augmentation with Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral of Different Particle Sizes: A Split-Mouth Study with Histomorphometric, Radiographic, and Clinical Analyses

The use of small and large bovine xenograft particles for maxillary sinus augmentation provides for comparable bone formation, ensuring stable graft dimensions combined with high implant success and healthy peri-implant conditions. However, small particle size resulted in a higher BGC, providing for higher osteoconductivity than with the larger particle size.
