Therefore, the correlation between FD and the histomorphometric findings                was evaluated. Sixteen patients with posterior edentulous maxilla were enrolled in                this study. Maxillary sinus lifting was performed using autogenous bone grafted from                the mandibular retromolar area. Three direct digital panoramic radiographs were                obtained: before surgery (Group 1), immediately postoperatively (Group 2) and after 6                months of healing (Group 3) for FD analysis. Biopsies were taken after 6 months,                processed and submitted to histological and histomorphometric analysis. Data were                analyzed by Shapiro-Wilk test and ANOVA test followed by a Tukey test (a=0.05). The                bone volume fraction of newly trabecular bone (TB) and medullary area (MA) was                measured as 62.75%\u00b117.16% and 37.25\u00b117.16%, respectively. Significant difference in                FD analysis was measured between Group 1 and Group 3. No significant difference was                found in the correlation between FD and histomorphometric analysis for TB and MA                (p=0.84). In conclusion, all performed analyses were effective in assessing the                bone-remodeling pattern in the maxillary sinus, offering complementary information                about healing and predictable outcomes. There were no correlations between FD and                histomorphometric analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0103-6440201300290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,7]],"date-time":"2015-02-07T15:15:40Z","timestamp":1423322140000},"page":"11-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Correlation of Fractal Dimension with Histomorphometry in Maxillary Sinus                Lifting Using Autogenous Bone Graft"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Rafael Scaf de","family":"Molon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wagner Nunes de","family":"Paula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rubens","family":"Spin-Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aarhus University,  Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario Henrique Arruda","family":"Verzola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guilherme Monteiro","family":"Tosoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raphael Carlos Comelli","family":"Lia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aarhus University,  Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gulnara","family":"Scaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elcio Marcantonio","family":"Jr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"966","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.2011.01754.x","article-title":"Histological evaluation of maxillary sinus floor augmentation with                   recombinant human growth and differentiation factor-5-coated beta-tricalcium                   phosphate: results of a multicenter randomized clinical trial","volume":"38","author":"Stavropoulos A","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Clin Periodontol"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"613","article-title":"Grafting of the maxillary sinus floor with autogenous marrow and                   bone","volume":"38","author":"Boyne PJ","year":"1980","journal-title":"J Oral Surg"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1563\/AAID-JOI-D-09-00072","article-title":"Bioglass associated with leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma in the                   rabbit maxillary sinus: histomorphometric, densitometric, and fractal                   analysis","volume":"36","author":"Trindade-Suedam IK","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Oral Implantol"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"576","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0501.2012.02431.x","article-title":"Histological results after maxillary sinus augmentation with                   Straumann(r) BoneCeramic, Bio-Oss(r), Puros(r), and autologous                   bone","volume":"24","author":"Schmitt CM","year":"2013","journal-title":"A randomized controlled clinical trial.
