Objectives: To evaluate and compare the structure of bone organization of sinus grafts in the repair period of 180 days by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of fractalimages and specimens evaluated by Micro CT. Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized clinical study was conducted on a sample of 20 patients with 40 maxillary. After this period, a specimen from each graft (Osteogen® + L-PRF and Osteogen®) was obtained at the time of implant placement for analysis of the Micro CT, and fractal analysisof the images of the Micro CT and the CBCTs. These images were also compared to native bone. Results: In the comparison of the values of the fractal analysis between Osteogen® in the CBCT and in the analysis by Micro CT, a statistically significant difference was observed (p <0.05), as well as between Osteogen® + L-PRF in the CBCT and in the analysis by Micro CT. When compared with native bone, a statistically significant difference was also observed (p<0.05). Conclusion: The statistical difference between fractal analysis of tomographic images, grafts, as well as Micro CT images in relation to native bone presupposes different patterns of bone structures and sinus grafts.
