Abstract
The placement of dental implants in highly atrophic alveolar bone continues to be a major challenge in implant dentistry. Sinus floor elevation and guided bone regeneration (GBR) involves augmenting the bone with grafting materials to provide adequate support for implants. From the various materials available for the bone augmentation, autogenous bone is considered the gold standard because of its high osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic potential. However, the collection of autogenous bone requires an extra surgical site for bone harvesting, which increases the risks of morbidity and discomfort.
