Immediate implantation following tooth extraction in fresh maxillary molar socket with poor bone quality / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility of immediate implantation after tooth extraction in the maxillary molar socket with poor bone quality beneath the sinus.@*METHODS@#We collected the data from the patients undergoing extraction of maxillary molars with poor bone quality between the sockets and sinuses. Sinus lifting and immediate implant following the extraction were performed simultaneously in these cases, and the primary stability of the implants, wound healing, and changes of the sinus were observed. At 6 months after the operations, the crowns were installed on the implants. The masticatory function was observed, and the growth of the alveolar bones and their changes after the operations were examined using microcomputed tomography (MCT).@*RESULTS@#We analyzed 32 extraction cases with immediate implantation in the maxillary molar sockets with poor bone quality beneath the sinus. The average age of the patients was 59.8 years, and the length and diameter of the implant ranged from 8.5 to 10 mm and from 4.5 to 5.5 mm, respectively. The torque force of the implants varied from the minimum (in which cases the implants remained fixed after insertion with fingers) to the maximum of 30 N·cm. The postoperative recovery was uneventful in all the cases and no failed or movable implants were found. At 6 months after the operation, none of the patients showed abnormalities in the sinus, and in all the cases the crowns were successfully installed on the implants with good recovery of the masticatory functions. Follow-up of the patients for 12 to 96 months after the operation showed successful immediate implantation in all the cases. After the operation, the changes of the mean alveolar ridge heights on the buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal sides of the patients were 0.8069±0.6253 mm (=1.2904, >0.1), 0.5272± 0.3331 mm (=1.5836, >0.05), 0.5416±0.4048 mm (=1.3379, >0.05), and 0.5172±0.3874 mm (=1.3351, >0.05), respectively; the change of the alveolar ridge width was 0.5522±0.4381 mm (=1.2604, >0.1) mm. The dimension of the alveolar bone underwent no significant changes after the operation in these patients.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Immediate implantation in the maxillary extraction socket with a poor bone quality can avoid damages to the sinus and achieve good outcomes with such advantages of less trauma, full use of the innate gingiva and alveolar ridge, and well preserved morphology of the alveolar ridge as compared with delayed implantation.

Maxillary sinus floor lifting using freeze-dried homologous bone and tibia autologous bone: report on radiographic and histological results / Elevación del piso del seno maxilar usando hueso homólogo liofilizado y hueso autólogo de tibia: reporte de resultados radiográficos e histológicos

ABSTRACT. Introduction: autologous bone grafts for maxillary sinus floor lifting are widely accepted to reconstruct alveolar ridge defects; however, there are donor sites that have not been fully explored and can be valid alternatives for this type of procedures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior of tibia autologous grafts compared with freeze-dried homologous bone in maxillary sinus floor lifting. Methods: prospective, controlled, randomized study in 11 patients requiring maxillary sinus elevation. Panoramic radiographs were taken in three different moments (pre-surgery, immediately after surgery, and 6 months post-surgery) in the two groups (tibia and freeze-dried), measuring the alveolar ridge height in the posterior maxilla. Bone biopsies were taken in the grafted area 6 months after the procedure. Results: A significant reduction in bone height was found in the group grafted with freeze-dried bone. The group grafted with tibia autologous bone showed greater stability between baseline and 6 months after surgery. The histological sections showed equal conditions between the two groups. Conclusion: tibia bone shows greater stability in the evaluated period in terms of the height obtained in maxillary sinus floor lifting procedures, with clinical and histological characteristics suitable for the placement of implants. This study should be complemented with a larger sample to provide more representative results that can be applied to the general population.

RESUMEN. Introducción: los injertos de hueso autólogo para elevación del piso del seno maxilar son ampliamente aceptados para la reconstrucción de defectos en el reborde alveolar; sin embargo, existen sitios donantes que no han sido debidamente explorados y que pueden representar opciones válidas para este tipo de procedimientos. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en evaluar el comportamiento de los injertos autólogos de tibia, comparados con injertos homólogos de hueso liofilizado en la elevación de seno maxilar. Métodos: estudio prospectivo, controlado, aleatorio, que incluyó a 11 pacientes que requerían elevación del seno maxilar. Se tomaron radiografías panorámicas en tres momentos (prequirúrgico, posquirúrgico inmediato y posquirúrgico a 6 meses) en los dos grupos (tibia y liofilizado). En estas se midió la altura del reborde alveolar en el maxilar posterior. Se tomaron biopsias de hueso en la zona injertada 6 meses después del procedimiento. Resultados: Se encontró una disminución significativa de la altura ósea en el grupo injertado con hueso liofilizado. El grupo injertado con hueso autólogo de tibia presentó mayor estabilidad entre el periodo de la cirugía y 6 meses después. En los cortes histológicos se evidenció igualdad de condiciones entre ambos grupos. Conclusión: el hueso de tibia muestra mayor estabilidad en el periodo investigado, en términos de altura obtenida en procedimientos de elevación de piso del seno maxilar, con características clínicas e histológicas adecuadas para la colocación de implantes. Este estudio debe complementarse con una muestra mayor para aportar resultados más representativos aplicables a la población.

Instalação do implante dentário após levantamento do seio maxilar com ß-tricálcio fosfato: relato de caso com resultados histológicos / Dental implant placement after maxillary sinus floor elevation using ß-tricalcium phosphate: a case report with histological results

Este relato de caso clínico descreveu o uso do beta-tricálcio fosfato para levantamento do seio maxilar e instalação do implante dentário. Uma paciente de 38 anos de idade apresentou-se com ausência dos elementos 26 e 27. Após a remoção da parede vestibular e levantamento do assoalho sinusal, uma membrana de colágeno foi interposta antes da deposição do biomaterial (granulação 1-2 mm). Oito meses depois, uma trefina foi usada para biopsia, e dois implantes dentários foram instalados. Os resultados histológicos mostraram a formação de tecido ósseo sadio. Mais tarde, as coroas defi nitivas foram confeccionadas e instaladas. O beta-tricálcio fosfato (Cerasorb) mostrou-se satisfatório como material para enxerto, mesmo sem o uso de osso autógeno concomitante

This case report describes the use of beta-tricalcium phosphate for maxillary sinus lifting and dental implant placement. A 38 years-old patient presented with the absence of the elements 26 and 27. After removing the buccal bone wall for sinus floor lifting, a collagen membrane was adapted before the biomaterial (1-2 mm granules) being inserted. Eight months later, a trephine bur was used for biopsy, and two dental implants were installed. Histological results showed the formation of healthy bone tissue. Later, the definitive crowns were made and installed. The betatricalcium phosphate (Cerasorb) was satisfactory as a biomaterial for grafting, even that no concomitant use of autogenous bone has been performed

Taxa de sobrevivência dos implantes após elevação atraumática do seio maxilar: revisão sistemática em diferentes técnicas nos últimos cinco anos / Implant survival rates after atraumatic maxillary sinus elevation: a systematic review of different techniques in the last 5 years

Objetivo: avaliar por meio de revisão sistematizada os fatores relacionados à taxa de sobrevivência dos implantes, na técnica de elevação atraumática do seio maxilar (LASM) e a influência das variáveis: técnica, tamanho dos implantes e altura óssea remanescente (AOR). Material e métodos: realizou-se pesquisa de artigos sobre as técnicas de LASM publicados na base de dados PubMed entre junho de 2008 e julho de 2014, com amostra mínima de dez pacientes e follow-up mínimo de seis meses. Estes foram divididos em três grupos: levantamento do seio maxilar com osteótomos sem enxerto ósseo (LSMO), e com enxerto ósseo (LSMOE) e levantamento do seio maxilar com brocas e enxerto (LSMBr). A sobrevivência do implante foi considerada como desfecho primário. Resultados: dos 92 artigos encontrados, apenas 18 foram selecionados, envolvendo 1.228 pacientes e 1.581 implantes. O comprimento dos implantes foi dividido em quatro grupos: 6 mm a 7 mm (8,03%); 8 mm a 10 mm (57,42%); 11 mm a 12 mm (27,21%) e 13 mm a 15 mm (7,34%). A AOR prévia à instalação dos implantes foi dividida em dois grupos (≤ 5 mm, 33,79% e > 5 mm, 66,2%). A taxa de sobrevivência dos implantes nas diferentes técnicas variou entre 93,6% e 100% (LSMO), 90% e 100% (LSMOE), e 92,7% e 96,3% (LSMBr). Quanto ao uso de biomaterial, o Bio-Oss (Geistlich) foi o mais utilizado. Houve maior perda quando da utilização de implantes curtos. Conclusão: o LASM apresenta-se como uma técnica segura com altas taxas sobrevivência dos implantes. Fatores como a técnica de acesso ao seio, AOR e tamanho dos implantes devem ser levados em consideração na execução da técnica.

Objective: to evaluate through a systematic review factors related to implant survival rates regarding the atraumatic sinus lifting technique (AMSLT) and the influence of variables such: technique, implant length, and the remaining bone height (RBH). Material and methods: an electronic search was made at the PubMed from June 2008 to July 2014, with at least 10 patients and six months of follow-up per study. These were divided into three groups: the osteotome maxillary sinus lifting with no bone graft (OMSL-NG), the same but with bone graft (OMSL-G), and maxillary sinus lifting with burs and grafting (MSL-BG). The implant survival was considered as the primary outcome. Results: from the 92 retrieved articles, only 18 were selected, involving 1228 patients and 1581 dental implants. Implant length was divided into four groups: 6-7 mm (8.03%), 8-10 mm (57.42%), 11-12 mm (27.21%), and 13-15 mm (7.34%). The RBH before implant placement was divided into two groups (≤ 5 mm: 33.79% and > 5 mm: 66.2%). The implant survival rates ranged from 93.6%-100% (MSL-BG), 90%-100% (OMSL-G), and 92.7%-96.3% (MSL-BG). The anorganic bovine bone matrix (Bio-Oss, Geistlich) was the most frequent biomaterial. Most losses occurred for short dental implants. Conclusion: The AMSLT is safe with high implant survival rates. Factors such as sinus access, the RBH, and implant lengths must be taken into account during surgical execution.
