“…In a recent study by Jensen et al (2012), they performed bilateral sinus floor lifts in 40 mini-pigs using particulate autogenous bone and Bio-Oss (ABB), concluding that the graft volume is better maintained when Bio-oss was added to autograft. Also, Schmitt et al (2012) performed sinus lift in 30 posterior maxillary edentulous patients using bone graft as calcium bisphosphate (BCP, Straumann Bone Ceramic), anorganic bovine bone (ABB, Geistlich Bio-Oss), mineralized cancellous bone allograft (MCBA, Zimmer Puros) or autologous bone, finding no significant differences in the results observed. Moreover, the shape and size of the biomaterial particles can influence the behavior of the allograft used.…”
