Allocation was concealed by sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. Indirect sinus lift was performed using the CAS kit, and implants were placed simultaneously via a crestal approach. Intra-sinus peri-implant bone changes at the implant apex and at the buccal and palatal aspects (apex, middle, and sinus floor levels) were assessed using CBCT at baseline and after 6 months. Implant survival was evaluated as a secondary outcome.

Group 3 (i-PRF) demonstrated moderate improvement, while Group 4 (synthetic graft) achieved the highest bone values, particularly at the apex, buccal-apical, and palatal-apical sites. Analysis confirmed that Group 4 significantly outperformed all others, and i-PRF consistently exceeded without graft and venous blood. Sagittal analysis showed a similar pattern: Groups 1 and 2 displayed negligible change, Group 3 had intermediate gains, and Group 4 demonstrated substantial bone formation, especially at mesial and distal apical sites. No implants were lost during the 6-month follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Synthetic grafts demonstrated the greatest intra-sinus bone gain at 6 months. This increased bone formation may enhance apical bone support and potentially improve implant stability in cases with limited residual bone height. I-PRF showed moderate bone gain, which, although statistically inferior to synthetic grafts, may still be clinically beneficial as a cost-effective and autologous adjunct. Thus, while synthetic grafts provided the highest statistical and clinical benefit, i-PRF may serve as a clinically viable alternative when synthetic grafting is not feasible.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jips.jips_25_26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]],"date-time":"2026-07-01T05:12:43Z","timestamp":1782882763000},"page":"215-222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of biomaterials on intra-sinus bone changes around dental implants following indirect sinus augmentation: A randomized clinical trial"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Mallikarjuna","family":"Ragher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge, Yenepoya Dental College, Yenepoya University, Mangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanath Kumar","family":"Shetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge, Yenepoya Dental College, Yenepoya University, Mangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajesh","family":"Shetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge, Yenepoya Dental College, Yenepoya University, Mangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
