  • The maxillary sinus bone graft procedure is one of the predictable and successful treatments for the rehabilitation of atrophic and pneumatized edentulous posterior maxilla. Materials used for maxillary sinus floor augmentation include autogenous bone, allogenic bone, xenogenic bone and alloplastic materials. Among them, autogenous bone grafts still represents 'gold standard'for bone augmentation procedures. We selected the mandibular ramus area as a donor site for the autogenous bone graft because of low donor site morbidity. We performed maxillary sinus bone graft procedures with implant placement using particulated ramal autobone and bovine bone mixture, and got good results. This is a preliminary report of the maxillary sinus bone graft using particulated ramal autobone and bovine bone, requires more long-term follow up and further studies.
