Histometric evaluations Evaluations were performed around the region where the sinus mucosa was elevated (mucosa folding region; MFR), both at the medial and lateral aspects (Figure 2a). This region was delimited by the elevated sinus mucosa (E-SM) opposite to the undetached sinus mucosa (U-SM) lining the sinus bony walls. Four stages were defined based on the interactions observed between the elevated and undetached sinus mucosae.
