Efficacy of Bioactive Glass vs. Xenograft in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and histologic efficacy of using bioactive glass bone graft (UNIGRAFT by Biomed Inc., USA) compared to a conventional xenograft in maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. A total of 20 patients classified as SA4 according to the Misch classification will be enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups. Outcomes will be assessed using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for vertical bone gain and, where applicable, histologic analysis. The study is conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University.
