About

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the maxillary intra-osseous vascular canal thickness as measured by volumetric tomography and the amount of intra-operative bleeding during open sinus floor augmentation. A sample of patients will be selected, and their maxillary intra-osseous vascular canal thickness will be measured using volumetric tomography. Intraoperative bleeding will be recorded during open sinus floor augmentation. The data will be analyzed to determine if there is a correlation between the thickness of the maxillary intra-osseous vascular canal and intraoperative bleeding.
