Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation Using Autogenous Tooth Bone Graft in Combination with Platelet-Rich Plasma for Dental Implants: Case Series

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To determine the benefits of autogenous tooth bone (ATB) graft in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the rates of success and survival of dental implants placed simultaneously with maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Ulsan University Hospital from 2012 to 2014 and underwent simultaneous placement of implants with MSFA using ATB plus PRP were included in the study. Success and survival rates of the implants were evaluated based on the parameters of age and sex of the patient, site, follow-up period, residual bone height before surgery, diameter, and length of implant, sinus mucosa impairment, and postoperative complications. RESULT: A total of 23 patients and 67 implants were included in this study. The average age of the patients was 53.78±10.00 years. The average follow-up period after installation of the prosthesis was 53±5 months. The success and survival rates of the implants after placement of prosthesis were 95.52% and 97.01%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Combination of ATB and PRP showed high overall success rate, and it can be concluded that this combination is a predictable bone graft procedure for MSFA.
