Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight sinus lift procedures (utilizing a synthetic ceramic containing 99.9% tricalcium phosphate as a bone substitute) and simultaneous implant placements were performed on 119 patients. The lateral window approach surgical protocol for maxillary sinus lift was performed on the patients. The implants were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at 6 months following placement. The vertical bone gain was considered a primary variable, while implant length, diameter, and location were considered secondary variables. Results: The ANOVA results showed no statistical difference in vertical bone gain with implant parameters like implant length, width, and position. Pearsons correlation revealed a statistically significant positive correlation with vertical bone gain and implant length and diameter. A further multivariate linear regression analysis was performed and it observed statistically significant associations between the variables in the study after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions: This study concluded that there was vertical bone gain with the usage of \u03b2-TCP in maxillary sinus lift surgical procedure with immediate implant placement and that implant variables like length and diameter had a significant influence on the average bone gain values. The implant position did not have a statistically significant influence but there was considerable variation in the bone gain between first, second premolar, and molar regions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina56110609","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,13]],"date-time":"2020-11-13T08:44:02Z","timestamp":1605257042000},"page":"609","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Vertical Bone Gain after Sinus Lift Procedures with Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate and Simultaneous Implant Placement\u2014A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Juan Manuel","family":"Aragoneses Lamas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Research, Federico Henriquez y Carvajal University, Santo Domingo 10106, Dominican Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margarita","family":"G\u00f3mez S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28670 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lev\u00ed","family":"Cuadrado Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Implantology and Regeneration, Universidad de Vic-Universidad Central de Catalu\u00f1a, 08500 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2448-6669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Su\u00e1rez Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pre-clinical Dentistry, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28670 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6373-0233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Aragoneses S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Research, Federico Henriquez y Carvajal University, Santo Domingo 10106, Dominican Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1294","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034519875450","article-title":"Evolution of Aesthetic Dentistry","volume":"98","author":"Blatz","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
