This trial aims to evaluate the effect of the sole use of T-PRF in bone formation process as applied in maxillary sinus floor elevation in comparison to traditional T-PRF/bone graft combination. This study is clinical trial that will include 18 patients seeking implant placement in upper posterior maxilla compromised with maxillary sinus pneumatization. Patients will be assigned into control and test groups. All the patients will undergo sinus lifting procedure through which a combination of xenograft and T-PRF was used in the control group whereas; sole T-PRF will be applied in the test group.
