Apport de la piézochirurgie et l'ostéotomie dans la surélévation sinusienne par voie crestale / Contribution of piezosurgery and osteotomy in crestal sinus lift

Dans la région postérieure maxillaire, après extractions dentaires, les crêtes subissent une résorption osseuse continue. Dans cette région s'ajoute un obstacle anatomique formé par le sinus maxillaire qui nécessite des conduites particulières avant et au moment de la pose d'implants. Parmi les techniques d'augmentation de volume osseux, la voie d'abord crestale

In the maxillary posterior region, after dental extractions, the ridges undergo continuous bone resorption. In this region, there is also an anatomical obstacle formed by the maxillary sinus, which requires special management before and at the time of implant placement. Techniques for bone augmentation include the crestal approach with osteotomes and piezo surgery

Elevación de seno maxilar sin injerto y colocación simultánea de implante dental / Graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implant placement

Introducción: La elevación de seno maxilar con implante dental simultáneo, sin el uso de substitutos óseos, ha retomado la teoría del potencial de neoformación ósea, que el coágulo de sangre alojado bajo la membrana de Schneider por sí solo presenta. Excluyendo así la necesidad de materiales exógenos. Objetivo: Exponer la efectividad de la elevación de seno maxilar con implante dental simultáneo, sin el uso de injerto, mediante la evaluación de la cantidad de ganancia ósea vertical. Presentación de casos: Caso 1: Paciente de 62 años, género femenino, que fue sometida a una elevación de seno maxilar sin injerto e implante dental simultáneo, con técnica de ventana lateral debido a altura ósea reducida de 5,24 mm. Luego del período de seguimiento tomográfico de 12 meses, después de la carga protésica, se logró una altura ósea vertical de 10,2 mm, lo que dio como resultado una ganancia ósea vertical de 4,96 mm. Caso 2: Paciente de 48 años, género femenino, que fue sometida a una elevación de seno maxilar sin injerto e implante dental simultáneo, con técnica transalveolar, mediante el uso de piezoeléctrico debido a una altura ósea reducida de 8,33 mm. Luego del período de seguimiento radiográfico de 4 meses, antes de la carga protésica, se logró una altura ósea vertical de 11,55 mm, lo que dio como resultado una ganancia ósea vertical de 3,19 mm. Conclusiones: Con base en estos 2 informes de casos, la elevación de seno maxilar e implante dental simultáneo sin injerto se asocian con la reducción de la morbilidad quirúrgica, menor probabilidad de procesos infecciosos y menor costo de la cirugía. Por lo tanto, puede considerarse una alternativa quirúrgica para la colocación de implantes en el maxilar posterior superior debido a deficiencias óseas verticales, independientemente de la técnica (lateral o transalveolar(AU)

Introduction: Maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implantation without using bone substitutes, reapproaches the theory about the bone neoformation potential of the blood clot housed under the Schneider membrane, all by itself, thus excluding the need to use exogenous materials. Objective: Discuss the effectiveness of graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implant placement through an evaluation of the amount of vertical bone gain. Case presentation: Case 1: Female 62-year-old patient undergoing graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implantation by lateral window technique due to a reduced bone height of 5.24 mm. After a 12-month tomographic follow-up period subsequent to prosthetic loading, a 10.2 mm vertical bone height was achieved, resulting in 4.96 mm vertical bone gain. Case 2: Female 48-year-old patient undergoing graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implantation by transalveolar technique using a piezoelectric generator due to a reduced bone height of 8.33 mm. After a 4-month radiographic follow-up period, before prosthetic loading, an 11.55 mm vertical bone height was achieved, resulting in 3.19 mm vertical bone gain. Conclusions: According to these two case reports, graftless maxillary sinus lifting with simultaneous dental implantation is associated to reduced surgical morbidity, a lesser probability of infectious processes and lower surgical costs. It may therefore be considered to be a surgical alternative for implant placement in the posterior maxilla due to vertical bone deficiencies, regardless of the technique used (lateral or transalveolar(AU)

Development of tilted implant for free end of maxillary posterior teeth / 华西口腔医学杂志

Vertical bone insufficiency in the maxillary posterior teeth is a common clinical situation. At present, the bone insufficiency in the maxillary posterior teeth is mainly overcome by bone grafting through maxillary sinus floor elevation. Compared with traditional axial implantation, tilted implantation can better avoid bone grafting, reduce complications, shorten the treatment cycle, reduce the treatment cost for patients, and gradually be promoted in clinical settings. This article reviews the concept, biomechanics, clinical evaluation, and digital trend of tilted implants of maxillary posterior teeth.

Elevação de seio maxilar via crista utilizando a técnica hidrodinâmica / Maxilar transcrestal sinus lift with hidrodynamic technique

A elevação de seio via crista do rebordo maxilar é uma técnica bastante utilizada no aumento ósseo da maxila posterior, e a utilização de osteótomos de Summers com martelo é a modalidade mais conhecida. Esta técnica é denominada "técnica de elevação de seio atraumática", o que se trata de uma designação equivocada, uma vez que as marteladas utilizadas para elevar o assoalho do seio maxilar, dependendo do nível de densidade óssea, são bastante incômodas aos pacientes e não são raras as manifestações de desconforto pelos mesmos. Além do desconforto, devido às marteladas sobre os osteótomos, pode ocorrer a vertigem posicional paroxicística benigna (VPPB). Nos últimos anos, a Implantodontia vem buscando técnicas menos traumáticas para a elevação de seio maxilar, destacando-se aquelas que se utilizam de instrumentos rotatórios. Neste trabalho, foi apresentada uma técnica de elevação de seio via crista, que se caracteriza por ser minimamente invasiva e pouco traumática, utilizando instrumentos rotatórios (kit SCA ­ Neobiotech, Coreia), associada à técnica hidrodinâmica (Aqua Lift System, IM3 ­ Neobiotech, Coreia) para descolamento e elevação da membrana, enxertia com Cerasorb (Curasan, Alemanha) e instalação de implante concomitantemente (SW ­ SIN, Brasil).

The transcrestal maxillary sinus lift is a technique widely used in bone enhancement of the posterior maxilla and the use of Summers osteotomes with hammer is the best known modality. This technique is termed an atraumatic sinus elevation technique, which is probably a misnomer, since hammers used to raise the floor of the maxillary sinus, depending on the level of bone density, are very uncomfortable for patients and manifestations of discomfort are not uncommon. In addition to discomfort, due to the hammering of the osteotomes, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) can occur as a complication. In recent years, Implantology has been seeking less traumatic techniques for maxillary sinus elevation. Among them, stand out those that use rotary instruments. In this work, a technique of sinus elevation via crest is presented, which is characterized by being minimally invasive and not very traumatic, using rotary instruments (kit SCA ­ Neobiotech, Korea), associated to the hydrodynamic technique (Aqua Lift System, IM3 ­ Neobiotech, Korea) for membrane detachment and elevation, grafting with Cerasorb (Curasan, Germany) and concomitant implant installation (SW ­ SIN, Brazil).

Resultados: Se encuentra la anastomosis arterial en el 90 por ciento de los estudios revisados, correspondiente a 1,005 estudios de tomografía.

Introduction: In order to avoid complications, it is essential for surgeonsto have a detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the superior maxillarybone prior to performing any sinus lift procedure. The alveolarantral artery forms an intraosseous anastomosis with the infraorbitalartery at the level of the anterolateral wall of the maxillary antrum at anapproximate distance of between 18.9 and 19.6 mm from the maxillaryalveolar ridge. The alveolar antral artery is responsible for providingvascularity to the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus, the anteriorlateral wall of the sinus, and the underlying periosteal tissue. Objective:To analyze and establish the frequency, diameter, and locationof the anastomosis between the infraorbital artery and the posteriorsuperior alveolar artery known as the alveolar antral artery, and itsrelationship to the alveolar bone crest in a Mexican cohort. Materialand methods. We conducted a cross-sectional observational descriptivestudy involving a cohort comprised of 1,116 patients of the Institute forSocial Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) on the eastside of Mexico City. The study consisted of a review of CBCT studies.Results: The arterial anastomosis was found in 90% of the 1,005 CBCTstudies reviewed, based on which the following values were determinedfor the distance between the alveolar ridge and the canal of the alveolarantral artery: for the fi rst premolar, 18.24 mm; second premolar,17.35 mm; fi rst molar, 16.96 mm, and for the second molar, 18.75 mm.Conclusions: We established the average measurements for the locationof the vascular bundle in question and the measurements neededto safeguard it along its course, which is important for the preservationand osseointegration of bone grafts placed during maxillary sinus liftprocedures, thus providing a margin of safety not previously reportedin the literature for a Mexican cohort.

Bone formation in maxillary sinus lift using autogenous bone graft at 2 and 6 months / Formación ósea en elevación de seno maxilar usando injerto óseo autógeno a los 2 y 6 meses

The aim of this study is to compare the bone formation in maxillary sinus lift with an autogenous bone graft in histological evaluation at 2 or 6 months. A comparative study was designed where 10 patients with missing teeth bilaterally in the posterior zone of the maxilla were selected. Patients received a particulate autogenous bone graft under the same surgical conditions, selecting a site to collect a biopsy and histological study at two months and another at six months postoperatively. Histomorphometry was performed and were used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, student's t-test and Spearman's correlation coefficient, considering a value of p<0.05. Differences were observed in inflammatory infiltrate and vascularization characteristics; however, the group analyzed at two months presented 38.12% ± 6.64 % of mineralized tissue, whereas the group studied at 6 months presented an average of 38.45 ± 9.27 %. There were no statistical differences between the groups. It is concluded that the bone formation may be similar in intrasinus particulate autogenous bone grafts in evaluations at two or six months; under these conditions, early installation of implants is viable.

El objetivo de este estudio es comparar la formación ósea en técnicas de elevación de seno maxilar utilizando injerto óseo autógeno en evaluaciónhistológica a las 2 y 6 meses. Un estudio comparativo fue diseñado donde 10 pacientes con dientes perdidos de forma bilateral en el sector posterior de maxila fueron incluidos. Los pacientes recibieron injerto óseo particulado bajo las mismas condiciones quirúrgicas, seleccionando el sitio para tomar la biopsia y el análisis histológico respectivo a los 2 meses en un lado y 6 meses en el lado contralateral. La histomorfometría se realizó y fueron utilizadas la prueba de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, la prueba t de student y la prueba de Spearman, considerando un valor de p<0,05. Fueron observadas diferencias en infiltrado inflamatorio y características de vascularización; sin embargo, los grupos analizados a los dos meses presentaron 38.12% ± 6.64% de tejido mineralizado, mientras que los grupos de estudio a los 6 meses presentaron en promedio 38.45 ± 9.27%. No se observo diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Se concluye que la formación ósea puede ser similar en elevaciones de seno maxila realizada con hueso autógeno particulado a los dos o seis meses; en estas condiciones, la instalación temprana de implantes puede ser viable.

Regeneración ósea en el seno maxilar

El uso de biomateriales para elevar el piso del seno maxilar permite la instalación de implantes de metal y la rehabilitación estética y funcional de los pacientes con pérdida de dientes en sus maxilares.

Effectiveness Of Direct Sinus LiftWith Simultaneous Implant Placement And Bone Grafting.

Background & Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim to clinically and radiographically evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of the direct sinus lift with simultaneous implant placement and bone grafting, and to evaluate bone height with the merits and demerits of lateral approach for sinus membrane elevation. Methodology: This randomized prospective study consisted of 10 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were selected irrespective of the age, sex & socioeconomic status, with the residual alveolar bone height between 1 to 4 mm in the edentulous posterior maxillary region. Direct sinus lift was carried out with simultaneous implant placement. Bovine graft (xenograft) was used as a sole grafting material. Patients were followed up for 36 months of prosthetic rehabilitation. Results: Pre-operative alveolar bone height was on an average 2.9 mm (ranging from 1 to 4 mm) with the standard deviation of 0.67 mm. After 36 months of loading, there wasn’t any clinical or radiographical complication. On an average 13 mm bone height was evident (ranging from 11.5 to 14 mm) with the standard deviation of 0.81 mm. Conclusion: Direct sinus lift is an excellent technique for the rehabilitation in the cases with severely atrophic posterior maxilla.

Elevação bilateral de seio maxilar utilizando cem porcento de biomaterial aloplástico, para posterior reabilitaçãode maxila atrófica. Follow-up tomográfico de cinco anos / Bilateral sinus floor augmentation using one hundred percent alloplastic biomaterial for later rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla. A 5-year tomographic follow-up

A restauração implantossuportada bem-sucedida passa por um planejamento prévio, abordando as variáveis clínicas específicas para cada caso. Maxilas severamente atróficas representam um desafio para reabilitação com próteses fixas, haja vista que o paciente não possui a quantidade mínima necessária de altura óssea na região posterior para a instalação de implantes no local preconizado pelo enceramento diagnóstico. Objetivo: o presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar um caso de reabilitação bucal com prótese total implantossuportada por meio de elevação bilateral de seio maxilar, utilizando 100% de biomaterial aloplástico para posterior instalação de implantes dentários, com cinco anos de follow-up clínico e tomográfico. Métodos: a utilização de um substituto ósseo sintético (fosfato de cálcio bifásico) elimina qualquer risco potencial de transmissão de microrganismos e reduz o número de sítios cirúrgicos, haja vista que dispensa a coleta de osso autógeno para enxertia. Como a altura óssea subantral residual chegava a ser inferior a 1mm, um procedimento de elevação de seio maxilar bilateral, por meio da técnica da janela lateral, foi planejado para oito meses antes da instalação de oito implantes, que serviriam de retenção para uma prótese total implantossuportada, a ser instalada 60 dias após a cirurgia de colocação dos implantes. Conclusão: há evidências, tanto na literatura científica quanto no caso relatado,que de que a utilização de 100% biomaterial aloplástico para aumento vertical de maxila atrófica por meio de levantamento do assoalho do seio maxilar consiste em uma alternativa ao uso do enxerto autógeno, tornando-se uma solução eficiente e de menor morbidade...

Successful implant rehabilitation relies on previous planning that addresses thespecific clinical variables of each case. Fixed-prosthesis rehabilitation of severely atrophic maxilla is a challenge, given that patients do not present with minimal posterior bone height required for implant placement at the site recommended by diagnostic wax-up. Objective: The present study aims at reporting a case of implant-supported complete denture oral rehabilitation performed by means of bilateral maxillary sinus lift with 100% alloplastic biomaterial for subsequent implant placement, with a 5-year clinicaland tomographic follow-up. Methods: The use of synthetic bone substitutes (biphasic calcium phosphate) not only eliminates potential risks of contamination, but also reduces the number of surgical sites, given that it does not require autogenous bone to be harvested for grafting. Subantral residual bone height was less than 1 mm, therefore, bilateral maxillary sinus lift carried out by means of the lateral window approach was planned to be performed eight months before placement of eight implants. These implants would give support to a complete denture installed 60 days after implant placement surgery. Conclusion:Both scientific literature and the case reported herein evince that the use of 100% alloplastic biomaterialfor vertical augmentation of atrophic maxilla by means of maxillary sinus lift is an efficient alternative to replace autograft due to presenting lower morbidity rates...

Results:The Von Mises stress values on membrane surface elevated by implant,grafting autogenous cancellous bone and hydroxyapa-tite bone substitute materials showed no difference within 5 mm elevation.Conclusion:Closed maxillary sinus floor lifting operation with implant elevating the maxillary sinus membrane directly is a simple and minimally invasive way for sinus floor elevation.

PLA/PGA copolymer as a bone substitute in maxillary sinus augmentation: histological, histometric and immunohistochemistry study in rabbits

A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade osteocondutora da forma sólida do copolímero de PLA/PGA em um modelo experimental de enxerto em seio maxilar . Vinte coelhos machos, branco, da raça Nova Zelândia, cada um pesando cerca de 3,0 kg, foram utilizados e foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com o material de preenchimento do seio, como segue: ósseo autógeno particulado e copolímero PLA/PGA . A área aumentada diferiu entre os grupos após 3, 7 e 15 dias (p = 0,004) . No entanto, os valores tornaram-se semelhante aos 40 dias (p = 0,458). Depois de 3 e 7 dias, a porcentagem óssea foi estatisticamente significativa entre osso autógeno e PLA / PGA copolímero (P = 0,004 e P = 0,004). Após 15 e 40 dias os valores foram semelhantes nos dois períodos (P = 0,087 e P = 0,087 ). Imunohistoquímica confirma os resultados sobre os dados histomorfométricos. Em conclusão, o copolímero de PLA/PGA parece ser adequado como material reabsorvível capaz de induzir o crescimento do osso em defeitos ósseos. Esta observação sugere que o material tem propriedades osteocondutoras também apropriado para aplicação em cirurgia maxilo-facial...

Twenty male white New Zealand rabbits, each weighing about 3.0kg, were used and were divided into two groups, according to the sinus filling material, as follows: autogenous bone chips and PLA/PGA copolymers. Augmented area differ between the groups after 3, 7 and 15 days (P=0.004). However, the values became similar on day 40 (P=0.458). After 3 and 7 days the percentage of bone was statistically significant between autogenous bone and PLA/PGA copolymer (P=0.004 and P=0.004). After 15 and 40 days the values were comparable in the two periods (P=0.087 and P=0.087). Immunohistochemistry confirms the results on the histomorphometric data. In conclusion, PLA/PGA copolymer seems to be suitable as resorbable material able to induce bone growth in bone defects. This observation suggests that the material have osteoconductive properties also suitable for application in maxillofacial surgery...

Levantamento de seio maxilar com enxerto ósseo em neoformação associado a osso bovino inorgânico: avaliação clínica, histológica e histomorfométrica / Sinus lift with newly forming bone and inorganic bovine bone: a clinical, histologic and histomorphometric evaluation

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a efetividade do enxerto ósseo em neoformação (EONF) no ganho de altura de tecido ósseo em procedimentos de levantamento de seio maxilar. Foram selecionados indivíduos de ambos os sexos com idade entre 25 e 60 anos apresentando perda de um dente na região de pré-molares ou molares superiores com remanescente ósseo de 2 a 9 mm entre a crista do rebordo alveolar e o assoalho do seio maxilar e existência de rebordo desdentado ou pelo menos um dente condenado à extração. Os seios foram tratados por meio de EONF misturado a osso bovino inorgânico OBI (teste; n= 7) ou OBI (controle; n= 6). O volume de tecido ósseo existente foi avaliado por meio de tomografias computadorizadas obtidas no exame inicial e 6 meses após a cirurgia. Após este período, biópsias de tecido duro foram obtidas para análise histológica e histomorfométrica durante a cirurgia de instalação dos implantes osseointegrados. A análise dos resultados das imagens tomográficas por meio do teste t demonstrou que os dois materiais são igualmente efetivos no ganho em altura óssea (teste: 11,22 ± 0,60 mm vs. controle: 11,82 ± 0,69 mm; p= 0,0664). A análise histológica da reação tecidual ao redor e entre as partículas de enxerto mostrou ausência de diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos, segundo teste de Mann Whitney. A análise histomorfométrica demonstrou maior percentual de osso vital (31,42% ± 11,13% vs. 16,38% ± 10,14%; p= 0,0002), menor percentual de partículas remanescentes (1,32% ± 2,34% vs. 3,15% ± 3,31%; p= 0,0306) e de tecido conjuntivo (27,65% ± 12,34% vs. 35,02 ± 13,16; p= 0,0257) no grupo teste do que no controle. O diâmetro médio das partículas remanescentes foi maior no grupo controle do que no grupo teste, segundo teste t (p= 0,0294), embora não houvesse diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos em relação à área de contado direto entre o tecido ósseo neoformado e a superfície das...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of newly forming bone graft (NFB) in the gain of bone height in sinus lift procedures. It were recruited for this study individuals 25- 60 years of age, both genders, presenting a missing tooth at an upper premolar or molar region with 2-9 mm of remaining bone between alveolar ridge crest and sinus floor and the existence of an edentulous ridge or at least one tooth condemned to extraction. Sinus were treated by NFB mixed to inorganic bovine bone IBB (test; n= 7) or IBB (control; n= 6). The volume of bone tissue was evaluated by computerized tomography obtained at baseline examination and 6 months after surgery. After this period, biopsies of hard tissue were obtained during implant installation for histologic and histomorphometric analysis. The analysis of data from tomographic images by t test showed that both materials were equally effective in the gain of bone height (test: 11.22 ± 0.60 mm vs. control: 11.82 ± 0.69 mm; p= 0.0664). The histologic analysis of tissue reaction around and between graft particles showed absence of significant differences between groups, according to Mann Whitney. Histomorphometric analysis showed greater percentage of vital bone (31.42% ± 11.13% vs. 16.38% ± 10.14%; p= 0.0002) and lower percentage of remaining particles (1.32% ± 2.34% vs. 3.15% ± 3.31%; p= 0.0306) and connective tissue (27.65% ± 12.34% vs. 35.02 ± 13.16; p= 0.0257) at test than control group. The mean diameter of remaining particles was greater at control than test group, according to t test (p= 0.0294), although no differences were observed between groups related to the area of direct contact between new bone and particles surface. These findings suggest that NFB is effective in the gain of bone height in sinus lift procedures, resulting in the formation of greater amount of vital bone with the use of IBB alone.

Análise da utilização do osteoscafTM como substituto ósseo em cirurgia de levantamento de seio maxilar / Use of OsteoScaf™ in maxillary sinus augmentation

Procedimentos de levantamento do seio maxilar têm sido realizados para aumentar o volume ósseo e promover a estabilidade do implante, na região posterior de maxilas severamente atrofiadas. Ao longo dos anos, resultados de vários estudos demonstraram que alguns substitutos ósseos podem suportar implantes em função, após o levantamento de seio maxilar, igual ou melhor quando utilizado o osso autógeno. Neste estudo, foi avaliado o comportamento de um substituto ósseo completamente biodegradável (OsteoScaf™) no modelo experimental de levantamento de seio maxilar em coelhos. Além disso, ele foi comparado com o osso autógeno e outros dois substitutos ósseos, não totalmente biodegradáveis, disponíveis comercialmente (Bio-Oss® e BoneCeramic®). Avaliação clínica, tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico, microtomografia computadorizada, análises microscópicas e análise molecular, através da técnica de PCR, foram realizadas após 2, 4 e 8 semanas de cirurgia. O levantamento de seio maxilar utilizando o osso autógeno demonstrou maior reabsorção, ao longo do tempo, comparado aos substitutos ósseos, os quais revelaram maior neoformação óssea após 8, 4 e 2 semanas, respectivamente. O grupo Bio-Oss® apresentou maior neoformação óssea, ao longo do tempo, quando comparado aos grupos Osteoscaf™ e BoneCeramic®, os quais foram qualitativamente emelhantes. O grupo BoneCeramic® mostrou uma resposta celular de células gigantes até 8 semanas. Concluiu-se que os substitutos ósseos, neste estudo, obtiveram melhor desempenho do que o osso autógeno, e o OsteoScaf™ demonstrou maior reabsorção do que os outros grupos, em todos períodos.

Maxillary sinus augmentation procedures have been applied to increase bone volume and to promote stability of implants in the severely atrophied posterior maxilla. Over the years, the outcomes of several studies have demonstrated that some bone substitutes can support implants in function after sinus augmentation as well as, or better than those with autogenous bone. Our experimental model evaluated the behavior of a fully biodegradable bone substitute (OsteoScaf™) in a rabbit sinus lift procedure. We compared this with autogenous bone and other two available non-biodegradable bone substitutes (Bio-Oss® and BoneCeramic®). Clinical evaluation, Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Microcomputed Tomography, microscopic and molecular evaluation were used for data analysis at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after sinus augmentation. Autogenous bone was more resorbed over time than the other materials. All bone substitutes showed more bone formation at 8, 4 and 2 weeks, respectively. Bio-Oss® showed more bone formation/timepoint than Osteoscaf™ and Boneceramic®, which were similar. Boneceramic® showed a florid giant cell response up to 8 weeks. We concluded that the bone graft materials all performed better than autogenous bone and OsteoScaf™ showed comparative bone growth yet greater degradation than the other two materials.

Análise da utilização do osteoscafTM como substituto ósseo em cirurgia de levantamento de seio maxilar / Use of OsteoScaf™ in maxillary sinus augmentation

Procedimentos de levantamento do seio maxilar têm sido realizados para aumentar o volume ósseo e promover a estabilidade do implante, na região posterior de maxilas severamente atrofiadas. Ao longo dos anos, resultados de vários estudos demonstraram que alguns substitutos ósseos podem suportar implantes em função, após o levantamento de seio maxilar, igual ou melhor quando utilizado o osso autógeno. Neste estudo, foi avaliado o comportamento de um substituto ósseo completamente biodegradável (OsteoScaf™) no modelo experimental de levantamento de seio maxilar em coelhos. Além disso, ele foi comparado com o osso autógeno e outros dois substitutos ósseos, não totalmente biodegradáveis, disponíveis comercialmente (Bio-Oss® e BoneCeramic®). Avaliação clínica, tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico, microtomografia computadorizada, análises microscópicas e análise molecular, através da técnica de PCR, foram realizadas após 2, 4 e 8 semanas de cirurgia.

Levantamento de seio maxilar com enxerto ósseo em neoformação associado a osso bovino inorgânico: avaliação clínica, histológica e histomorfométrica / Sinus lift with newly forming bone and inorganic bovine bone: a clinical, histologic and histomorphometric evaluation

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a efetividade do enxerto ósseo em neoformação (EONF) no ganho de altura de tecido ósseo em procedimentos de levantamento de seio maxilar. Foram selecionados indivíduos de ambos os sexos com idade entre 25 e 60 anos apresentando perda de um dente na região de pré-molares ou molares superiores com remanescente ósseo de 2 a 9 mm entre a crista do rebordo alveolar e o assoalho do seio maxilar e existência de rebordo desdentado ou pelo menos um dente condenado à extração. Os seios foram tratados por meio de EONF misturado a osso bovino inorgânico OBI (teste; n= 7) ou OBI (controle; n= 6). O volume de tecido ósseo existente foi avaliado por meio de tomografias computadorizadas obtidas no exame inicial e 6 meses após a cirurgia. Após este período, biópsias de tecido duro foram obtidas para análise histológica e histomorfométrica durante a cirurgia de instalação dos implantes osseointegrados. A análise dos resultados das imagens tomográficas por meio do teste t demonstrou que os dois materiais são igualmente efetivos no ganho em altura óssea (teste: 11,22 ± 0,60 mm vs. controle: 11,82 ± 0,69 mm; p= 0,0664). A análise histológica da reação tecidual ao redor e entre as partículas de enxerto mostrou ausência de diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos, segundo teste de Mann Whitney. A análise histomorfométrica demonstrou maior percentual de osso vital (31,42% ± 11,13% vs. 16,38% ± 10,14%; p= 0,0002), menor percentual de partículas remanescentes (1,32% ± 2,34% vs. 3,15% ± 3,31%; p= 0,0306) e de tecido conjuntivo (27,65% ± 12,34% vs. 35,02 ± 13,16; p= 0,0257) no grupo teste do que no controle. O diâmetro médio das partículas remanescentes foi maior no grupo controle do que no grupo teste, segundo teste t (p= 0,0294), embora não houvesse diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos em relação à área de contado direto entre o tecido ósseo neoformado e a superfície das...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of newly forming bone graft (NFB) in the gain of bone height in sinus lift procedures. It were recruited for this study individuals 25- 60 years of age, both genders, presenting a missing tooth at an upper premolar or molar region with 2-9 mm of remaining bone between alveolar ridge crest and sinus floor and the existence of an edentulous ridge or at least one tooth condemned to extraction. Sinus were treated by NFB mixed to inorganic bovine bone IBB (test; n= 7) or IBB (control; n= 6). The volume of bone tissue was evaluated by computerized tomography obtained at baseline examination and 6 months after surgery. After this period, biopsies of hard tissue were obtained during implant installation for histologic and histomorphometric analysis. The analysis of data from tomographic images by t test showed that both materials were equally effective in the gain of bone height (test: 11.22 ± 0.60 mm vs. control: 11.82 ± 0.69 mm; p= 0.0664). The histologic analysis of tissue reaction around and between graft particles showed absence of significant differences between groups, according to Mann Whitney. Histomorphometric analysis showed greater percentage of vital bone (31.42% ± 11.13% vs. 16.38% ± 10.14%; p= 0.0002) and lower percentage of remaining particles (1.32% ± 2.34% vs. 3.15% ± 3.31%; p= 0.0306) and connective tissue (27.65% ± 12.34% vs. 35.02 ± 13.16; p= 0.0257) at test than control group. The mean diameter of remaining particles was greater at control than test group, according to t test (p= 0.0294), although no differences were observed between groups related to the area of direct contact between new bone and particles surface. These findings suggest that NFB is effective in the gain of bone height in sinus lift procedures, resulting in the formation of greater amount of vital bone with the use of IBB alone.
