Bone regeneration using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in a crestal sinus elevation technique: a histological and histomorphometrical pilot study

Key Points

• The study aims to assess new bone formation and the presence of residual bone substitute after using DBBM in sinus elevation.
• Evaluated the percentage of new bone formation and residual bone substitute
• Used a deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) as graft material
• Applied crestal sinus elevation technique in the experimental procedure
• Demonstrated a significant percentage of new bone formation
• Identified remaining residual bone substitute material following the procedure
