    Abstract:
    Sinus grafting, a popular and standard treatment for maxillary atrophy, uses a variety of grafting materials. In this study, specimens obtained 6 months after sinus grafting with Algipore were evaluated under light microscopy and showed osseoformation, xenograft degradation, and bone ingrowth into particles. Osteoblastic cells were embedded in the intracorpuscular bone matrix, which indicated that xenograft particles are an osseoconductive scaffold and stimulate matrix deposition. Acute inflammatory responses after insertion of Algipore did not occur. Particles were degraded during physiologic bone remodeling, and newly formed bone gradually replaced resorbed biomaterial.
