To develop prediction models for estimating the bone-graft volume needed for sinus floor elevation (SFE) based on the augmentation site, elevation height, and sinus width using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).CBCT scans with a medium-to-large field-of-view with bilateral maxillary sinuses partially/entirely visible, acquired from February 2016 to October 2020, were initially screened. Ten defined regions, above the maxillary first (MMA total of 133 scans (224 sinuses) were included. Three developed prediction models, composed of the sinus width and elevation height, explained 89-91% of the variation in the bone graft volumes estimated for SFE at the MMThe proposed prediction models may enable more patient-specific estimation of the bone graft volume needed for SFE.The proposed prediction models could facilitate the preparation of an adequate amount of bone graft material and patient-clinician communication about the cost of bone graft material. |
