a Schematic diagram shows the specific time points for the measurements and analyses in the present study. b–d Images show the method for residual bone height measurement in panoramic views. b Patient shows a thin residual bone height at the preoperative panoramic view (arrows) (T0). c Immediately after simultaneous implant placement with iliac bone grafting (T1), the alveolar bone height increases due to the graft material (arrows). d Five months after surgery (T2), the subantral inlay-type grafted bone volume is shrunk and elevated sinus floor is inferiorly moved because of bone healing and consolidation
