Introduction: This study aims to compare the surgical and clinical complications, and the dental implant survival rate after maxillary sinus floor augmentation using demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts (DFDBA) versus bovine derived xenografts.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study enrolled 107 patients (52 males and 55 females, mean age group 1: 54,4 years; group 2: 56,4 years) requiring maxillary bone reconstruction prior to implantation. A total of 141 sinuses were grafted and 191 implants were placed.
