Figure 2 Digital (3-dimensional) reconstruction technique was carried out through selecting the grafting volume, while the artificial reconstruction was also calculated according to the threshold values. In this study, the threshold values were selected based on gray values for the native bone, grafting bone, sinus cavity, and soft tissue, with analysis by Mimics software (version 16.0, Leuven, Belgium). This representative image is from a patient at 6 months after surgery.
