Abstract:
Elevation of the sinus floor to augment the alveolar process to place implants is an effective treatment. The traditional use of autologous bone implies a secondary donor site and the related morbidity, and, hence, is not readily accepted by many patients. The new graft material, synthetic peptide enhanced hydroxyapatite (PepGen P-15 Flow, Ceramed Dental, Lakewood, CO, DENTSPLY Int.,York, PA), shows the ease in use and ability to generate new bone growth in the sinus elevation procedure. Histologic and electromicroscopic analysis was performed on the new bone formed after the application.
