Radiographic Changes in the Maxillary Sinus Following Closed Sinus Augmentation With Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin
Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Summary
An examination of the participants mouth is done first. If they do not have enough bone to place a dental implant as a tooth replacement, and they have chosen sinus augmentation to treat this issue during implant placement a leukocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) will be performed instead of using other available options. The only difference from usual care is that L-PRF alone will be used as the bone formation material and two additional x-rays, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCTs) will be taken right after the procedure and then again six months after treatment. CBCT is a special type of 3D X-ray commonly used in dentistry and oral surgery. Unlike traditional X-rays, which create flat 2D images, CBCT produces detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and nearby tissues.

Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin
L-PRF does not directly induce bone formation within the maxillary sinus; rather, it serves as an autologous biologic scaffold that facilitates the regenerative process
