Bone Regeneration Using a Hollow Hydroxyapatite Space-Maintaining Device for Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation – A Clinical Pilot Study

• ABSTRACT Background: The mere lifting of the maxillary sinus membrane by implants protruding into the sinus cavity allows the establishment of a void space for blood clot and new bone formation. Purpose: To evaluate bone formation by using a spherical, hollow, and perforated hydroxyapatite space-maintaining device (HSMD) in a two-stage sinus lift procedure where residual alveolar bone height was
