The Evaluation of Enamel Matrix Derivative on the Bone Regenerative Potential of the Dental Implant with the Transcrestal Sinus Floor Elevation Approach: A Randomized, Parallel CBCT Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of simultaneous implant placement using transcrestal sinus floor elevation (TSFE) with and without enamel matrix derivative (EMD) application.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients were randomly assigned into two groups: The EMD+TSFE group (n = 13 patients, 20 implants) received TSFE with EMD application, and the TSFE group (n = 11 patients, 20 implants) received TSFE without EMD application. The patients were recalled at 3 (T3) and 12 (T12) months postsurgery.
