Cone-beam computerized tomographies (CBCT) were performed immediately after tooth extraction (T0) and 6 months postoperatively (T1). CBCTs were superimposed by using a specific software (Amira, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and the following items were analyzed in both groups: (i) postextractive maxillary sinus floor expansion in coronal direction and (ii) postextractive alveolar bone dimensional changes (both vertical and horizontal). All data were tested for normality and equality of variance and subsequently analyzed by independent samples T-test and Mann\u2013Whitney test.<jats:italic> Results.<\/jats:italic> Thirty patients were treated by three centers and twenty-six (test n=13; control n=13) were included in the final analysis. Mean sinus pneumatization at T1 was 0.69\u00b10.48 mm in the test group and 1.04\u00b10.67 mm in the control group (p=0.15). Mean vertical reduction of the alveolar bone at T1 was 1.62\u00b10.49 mm in the test group and 2.01\u00b10.84 mm in the control group (p=0.08). Mean horizontal resorption of crestal bone at T1 was 2.73\u00b11.68 mm in test group and 3.63\u00b12.24 mm in control group (p=0.24).<jats:italic> Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> It could be suggested that ARP performed after maxillary molar extraction may reduce the entity of sinus pneumatization and alveolar bone resorption, compared to unassisted socket healing. This technique could decrease the necessity of advanced regenerative procedures prior to dental implant placement in posterior maxilla.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/9352130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,4]],"date-time":"2018-11-04T18:31:51Z","timestamp":1541356311000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Efficacy
