melatonin proved an ability to repair bone defects and enhance osseointegration of dental implants. Also, hyaluronic acid has osteopromoting properties. the effect of melatonin and hyaluronic acid on the newly formed bone in maxillary sinus augmentation was evaluated
16 participants with missing maxillary posterior teeth and residual alveolar ridge of at least 5 mm will be equally and randomly divided into two groups. The study group will receive melatonin and hyaluronic acid after sinus membrane elevation and simultaneous implant placement while the control group will not receive any materials after sinus membrane elevation and simultaneous implant placement.

The result is presented as an ISQ value of 1-100. The acceptable stability range lies between 55-85 ISQ. The higher the ISQ, the more stable the implant

Postoperative pain
based on a 4-point verbal descriptive scale as following: no pain, mild (recognizable but not discomforting pain that required no analgesics), moderate (discomforting but bearable pain and analgesics if used were effective in relieving pain) and severe (difficult to bear and analgesics were effective in relieving pain).
Time frame: after 1 week
Postoperative swelling
none (no inflammation), mild (intraoral swelling confined to the surgical field), moderate (extraoral swelling in the surgical zone) and severe (extraoral swelling spreading beyond the surgical zone).
Time frame: after 1 week
