Comparison of SLA® or SLActive® implants placed in the maxillary sinus with or without synthetic bone graft materials – an animal study in sheep

ConclusionAfter 12 weeks of healing, neither grafting nor implant type seemed to influence BIC. Use of an activated implant surface did not increase BIC when compared with a conventional implant. The synthetic graft seemed to improve BIC values after 26 weeks. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
