A 12-month, single-center, parallel group clinical trial was conducted to compare changes in bone regeneration and crestal bone level as shown on x-ray, following trans-crestal sinus floor lift using a collagenated hydroxyapatite graft and insertion of single dental implants with two different surfaces: moderately rough surface implants (Control Group \u2013 CG) and nanoscale super-hydrophilic surface implants (Test Group \u2013 TG). Radiographic bone volume and maximum height of regenerated bone as well as peri-implant crestal bone level were evaluated immediately following implant insertion and after 12 months. A multivariate regression model was built to address the impact of surface characteristics and clinical variables on the outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study was completed by 25 participants (12 in the TG and 13 in the CG).
