    This study analyzed peri-implant trabecular bone complexity using fractal dimension after transcrestal sinus floor elevation in 35 patients.

  • 2

    Patients were divided into three groups based on sinus membrane elevation heights of 3, 4, or 5 mm during the procedure.

  • 3

    Fractal dimension changes from baseline to 6 and 12 months postoperatively were not statistically significant among the elevation groups.

  • 4

    The 3 mm group showed a significant decrease in distal fractal dimension at 6 months, followed by a significant increase at 12 months.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that peri-implant bone structural complexity does not significantly differ across varying sinus membrane elevation heights.
