Overview

Randomized controlled trial assesses effects of polycaprolactone and bovine bone in sinus elevation, indicating differences in new bone formation.

Key Points

  • Augmented bone height and volume showed no significant difference between polycaprolactone and bovine bone groups.
  • New bone formation was significantly lower in the polycaprolactone group at 15.7% versus 25.6% in the bovine bone group.
  • Two implant failures were recorded in the polycaprolactone group, with none in the bovine bone group.
  • Dimensional stability was comparable, but polycaprolactone showed inferior outcomes in bone formation and implant survival.
