Download or read book Comparative Evaluation of Bony Window Preparation and Coverage in Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation written by Molnar Balint and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Lateral bony window coverage utilizing collagen membranes in maxillary sinus floor augmentation by lateral approach delivers favorable results (Pjetursson et al. 2008). The piezoelectric approach allows for repositioning the sinus bony wall (Choung et al.1997), nevertheless data is scarce on the efficacy compared to collagen membrane coverage. The preliminary clinical results of an ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled clinical, radiographical and histological trial are presented. Aims: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of bony wall repositioning compared to collagen membrane coverage in maxillary sinus flooraugmentation. Primary outcome parameter: Histological evaluation. Secondary outcome parameters: duration of surgery and window preparation, perforations, patient morbidity.Materials and methods: 8 healthy patients with at least one missing maxillary premolar or molar with not more than 5mm bone height below the sinus weretreated at the Department of Periodontology, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary by lateral maxillary sinus flooraugmentation. Patients were randomized in two groups: Test (4 patients): lateral sinus window preparation with a piezoelectric device (NSK Variosurg 3), sinus bony wall repositioning. Control (4 patients) lateral sinus window preparation with rotary burs at 400 rpm, bony window covered by resorbable collagen membrane (Botiss Colprotect). Hard tissue grafting was performed using a particulatexenogenic material (Botiss Cerabone) in both groups. Following parameters were registered: duration of surgery and windowpreparation in minutes; percentage of sinus membrane perforations, postoperative patient complaints subjectively evaluated by visual analogue scale, objectively evaluated by number of non-steroid inflammatory drugs taken.Results: Initial healing was uneventful, primary wound healing occurred in all cases, no postoperative infections were observed. Duration of surgery was 50.5u00b19.6 min in test compared to 56.50u00b114.1 min in control. Duration of window preparation was 5.0u00b10.8 min in test compared to 4.8u00b11.7 min in control. Percentage of sinus membrane perforations was 50% in test compared to 50% in control. Postoperative patient complaints subjectively evaluated by visual analogue scale was 24.5u00b130.7 in test compared to 42.3u00b125.6 in control on the day of surgery, 13.5u00b121.4 in test compared to 30.5u00b125.1 in control 1 day postoperatively, 12.5u00b117.7 in test compared to 12.5u00b13.5 in control 2 days postoperatively. Postoperative patient complaints objectively evaluated by number of non-steroid inflammatory drugs taken was 1.5u00b10.6 in test compared to 2u00b10 in control on the day of surgery, 1u00b11.2 in test compared to 0.75u00b10.5 in control 1 day postoperatively, 0u00b10 in test compared to 0.5u00b10.7 in control 2 days postoperatively.Conclusions: According to the preliminary clinical results of the ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled clinical, radiographical and histological trial, duration of surgery, duration of window preparation, percentage of sinus membrane perforations were comparable in test and control. Subjective and objective postoperative complaint evaluation showed more favorable outcomes in the test group, indicating less patient morbidity following piezoelectric sinus window preparation and bony wall repositioning.

Book Bony Wall Window Repositioning in Sinus Floor Elevation  a Comparative Randomized  Controlled Trial

Download or read book Bony Wall Window Repositioning in Sinus Floor Elevation a Comparative Randomized Controlled Trial written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Application of resorbable membranes for lateral bony window coverage delivers favorable results in sinus floor elevation by increased graft protection. The piezoelectric approach allows repositioning of the sinus bony wall as opposed to rotary window preparation. This may represent a valuable treatment alternative to the placement of collagen membranes for window coverage.Aim/Hypothesis: Our aim was to present the clinical, radiographic and histological results of a prospective, randomized, controlled trial on sinus bony wall repositioning compared to rotary window preparation with membrane coverage.Matrial and methods: 40 patients with at least one missing maxillary premolar/molar were treated by lateral maxillary sinus floor augmentation. Patients were randomized to Test (20 patients): piezoelectric window preparation (NSK VarioSurg3), bony wall repositioning. Control (20 patients) rotary window preparation, resorbable collagen membrane coverage (botiss collprotect). A particulate xenograft (botiss cerabone) was utilized in both groups. Following clinical parameters were registered: duration of surgery, bony window, sinus mucosa preparation; number of sinus perforations; postoperative patient complaints by visual analogue scale (VAS); number of non-steroid inflammatory drugs (NSAID) taken. Qualitative radiographic evaluation was performed on pre- and postoperative CBCT scans. Hard tissues were analyzed histologically in biopsies retrieved at 6months re-entry prior to implant placement (Straumann Tissue Level) by guided surgery (SMART Guide).Results: Duration of surgery was 45u00b111min in test compared to 49u00b111 min in control. Duration of window preparation was 4.45u00b11.36min in test compared to 5.85u00b13.65min in control. Duration of mucosa elevation was 5.8u00b13.3min in test compared to 7.15u00b13.2min in control. Percentage of sinus perforations was 30% in test compared to 35% in control. VAS scores demonstrated lower morbidity in test compared to control: 30.85u00b131.26 vs. 44.5u00b127.07 on the day of surgery, 19.75u00b126.09 /29.40u00b126.6 1 day-, 12.9u00b120,31 / 24.8u00b123.17 2 days-, 9,5u00b116.5 / 17.63u00b121.13 3 days postoperatively. Number of NSAID taken was 1.42u00b10.61 in test compared to 1.75u00b10.91 in control on the day of surgery, 0,89u00b10,94 / 1.15u00b10.93 1 day-, 0.71u00b10.78 / 1.14u00b11,02 2 days-, 0.32u00b10.58 / 0.75u00b10.97 3 days postoperatively. Differences were not significant. Radiographical and histological analysis confirmed favorable hard tissue reconstruction at all sites in both treatment groups. Conclusion and clinical implications: Duration of surgery and window preparation, number of sinus perforations were lower following piezoelectric window preparation and bony wall repositioning with less patient morbidity. Quality and quantity of newly formed hard tissues were comparable to rotary preparation and membrane coverage. Piezoelectric preparation and sinus bony wall repositioning represents a valuable treatment alternative by eliminating the need for membrane application for window coverage in sinus floor elevation.

Download or read book The Sinus Bone Graft written by Ole T. Jensen and published by Quintessence Publishing (IL). This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While an oral surgery resident in training at the University of Michigan in 1977, I observed a strange phenomenon in a maxillary fracture patient. A unilateral ossification of the maxillary antrum occurred following a Le Fort III fracture that had been treated the year before. I wondered how trauma around the antrum due to an impacted maxilla and the inferiorly displaced orbital rim could lead to an ossified maxillary sinus. The trauma was bilateral, yet only one side responded by ossification. Furthermore, there appeared to be no functional impairment of the sinus. This unusual finding remained a mystery to me for many years. It wasn't until 1980, when Phil Boyne published the first paper on the sinus augmentation graft, that the mystery began to be solved. He found that preservation of the elevated sinus membrane created a confined space in which bone had the potential to form. Dr Boyne went on to show, in a primate study, that bone would readily form in the sinus floor, but that the newly formed bone would completely resorb over a period of a year unless dental implants were placed to help maintain the bone. Many other workers began to experiment with various bone-grafting materials, both in animals and clinically. Remarkably, most of the materials demonstrated new bone formation in the graft sites. Because dental implants were generally used as the measure of bone graft success and since there were very few implant failures reported in the literature, confusion resulted as to which grafting material to use. It seemed they all worked. To sort this out, a few patients with 5 to 7 mm of available bone were treated with sinus elevation and Gore-Tex over the lateral osteotomy site only. Despite no graft material be used, bone formed. As long as the sinus membrane remained intact, bone formed beneath the sinus membrane that had been tented up by simultaneously placed implants. The need to use any graft material at all appeared to be brought into question. At the same time, practitioners lined up in two camps: those who placed implants in delayed fashion after graft maturation and those who preferred simultaneous implant placement. Both approaches published a high level of success seeming to substantiate their protocols, but once again the measure of success was hampered by the lack of any human evidence for efficacy. A 5-year implant retrieval study was undertaken using standard titanium mini-implants that had been placed simultaneously with grafting. Interestingly, bone did not form well around these implants in this setting despite positive reviews in animal studies. Could we conclude that the delayed approach was preferred, or was there another factor, such as the implant surface, that could be important? Hydroxyapatite-coated, titanium plasma-sprayed, and acid-etched titanium implant surfaces seemed to do well in the grafted bone. Could this be the answer for implants placed into sinus bone grafts? As these developments are progressing, new interest is generated in jump-starting the natural inductive processes of bone formation through pharmacokinetics. Early results of human studies now appear to be favorable for using bone morphogenetic protein as a graft alternative that stands to modify all of the protocols in use to date. How these various approaches work toward definitive answers to the basic biologic and clinical questions is what this book is all about. The authors attempt to answer the how, why, when, and where of sinus grafting. It is hoped that the state of the art of sinus grafting will be elucidate for the reader in the ongoing quest for scientific knowledge and its clinical appilcation that will ultimately lead to excellence in patient care.
