The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess if the addition of DFDBA fibers to DBBM results in greater vital bone formation than the addition of DFDBA particles to DBBM. The study team will examine the effects of the addition of DFDBA fibers to DBBM on vital bone formation. Specifically, we will assess histologically the percent vital bone formation with each of the groups during implant placement, six months after the sinus augmentation procedure. We will also evaluate the radiographic volume achieved with both groups of materials.
