A Clinical and Histometrical Study of Using Tricalcium Phosphate in the Maxillary Sinus Lift


Abstract in English

Graft insertion can effectively enhance the regeneration of debilitated bone. Aim: The effects of an alloplastic bone-replacing material, b-tricalcium phosphate, and of autogenous bone graft were compared.
