Sinus lift tissue engineering using autologous pulp micro-grafts: A case report of bone density evaluation
A male M.B., 45 years old, was selected in the Department of Oral Surgery, Don Orione Hospital, Bergamo, Italy. Informed written consent approved by the local Ethics Committee was obtained from patient to use his data for research purpose.\nThe patient had an unremarkable medical history, no other oral diseases, and he wanted to rehabilitate the upper right maxilla with dental implant-prosthetic therapy. He was taking no medications and denied any allergies. Before the surgery he underwent sextant scaling with ultrasonic and hand instruments. The same patient presented a third molar with advanced bone resorption but healthy for caries. We decided to extract the upper right third molar and extract the pulp to produce micro-gratfs for bone tissue regeneration of the upper left maxilla.
