Abstract

 Aim: The objective of this study was to assess radiographically the dimensional and 
volumetric changes of the grafting material after sinus lifting procedures and delayed 
implants placement. Subjects and methods: 14 patients underwent lateral sinus lifting, 
followed by delayed implant placement at six month after grafting. Dimensional changes 
were measured in the form of height involving the residual ridge and the allogenic 
graft immediate post-operative, at 6th month and at 12 month. Volumetric analysis 
of the grafting material was conducted at the following three intervals immediate 
after grafting, at 6 month, and 12 month postoperative. Results: Vit D showed 
significant improvement between goup A (29.24±5.03) and group B (12.77±2.06) 
and P-Value was >0.05, while calcium levels showed no statistical difference. 
Radiographically, no statistical difference in bone volume and height in both groups.  
Conclusion: Improvement of the vitamin D deficiency by vit D and Ca supplements 
not had any significant changes on the dimensional and volumetric measurements of the 
grafted area at the end of the study.
