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.
