Maxillary sinus floor elevation is a predictable and effective procedure for increasing the height of the residual bone in the posterior maxilla. The sinus lift procedure is basically performed using Conventional lateral sinus floor elevation (CLSFE) when RBH \< 5 mm. The use of autogenous corticocancellous bone block allows the simultaneous placement of an implant in the severely atrophic maxilla. Autogenous corticocancellous block will be applied in these patients to decrease the number of surgical interventions and the complications related to the surgery, without any additional risk, as well as to provide graft stabilization with the implant itself, using a mechanism similar to that of a screw and nut. Although the traditional application of sticky bone inside the sinus gives the benefit of moldable shaping and accurate fit into the recipient bony cavity which hardens and allows for implant osteotomy and installation with adequate implant stability. Limited comparative studies of both techniques had been introduced to the literature. This study is aimed to compare the quantity of bone gain after open sinus lift and augmentation using autogenous corticocancellous bone blocks from the chin area versus autogenous particulate mineralized plasmatic matrix (sticky bone) graft used as control group. The primary outcome which is amount of bone gain will be measured and secondary stability of the implant.
