Histomorphometric analysis of the new bone 12 weeks after the sinus bone graft

Right sinuses of all experimental pigs were filled with autogenous tooth bone, whereas left sinuses were filled with synthetic hydroxyapatiteas control groups. New bone area (B) and total area (T) was estimated and the ratio of new bone area over total area (B/T) was calculated for each specimen.

^*Specimen from the right maxillary sinus (experimental group) of the pig 1 was missing during specimen preparation and was designated as negative in this table.
