Titanium-Prepared Platelet Rich Fibrin in the Sinus Lifting Procedure

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Maxillary Sinus
Registration Number
NCT03096210
Lead Sponsor
Kırıkkale University
Brief Summary

This study evaluates the radiographic, histological and clinical comparisons of the completely autologous T-PRF or allograft effectiveness at the maxillary sinus elevation procedure.

Detailed Description

Participants randomly divided into 2 groups and the test group had a Schneiderian membrane elevation with using balloon lifting technique and after that sinus was filled with T-PRF produced from the patients' blood and 4 months waiting period has been entered. At the end of the 4th month, the bone samples were received from the implant slots and sent to histological evaluation. After 3 months, implant stability was measured and recorded. In the control group, the same procedures were followed and sinus was filled with only allograft. Waiting period was changed to 6 months for this group.
