Article Abstract

Purpose: The objective of present study was to assess the dimensional stability of the grafting material DBBM (Bio-oss) after maxillary sinus floor augmentation with spiral computed tomography (SCT) scans and 3D reconstruction.

Methods: Two postoperative SCT scans were available from 12 patients who had undergone maxillary sinus lift procedures. CT scan was taken at 2 week after surgical intervention and 6 months later, respectively. A total of 12 maxillary sinuses were augmented with 100% DBBM before implant insertion by lateral antrostomy in a staged approach. The augmentation volume was calculated using the SurgiCase CMF5.0 software. Data were calculated by Stata10 software package.

Results: The mean volume of the graft was reduced by 19.40%. Specifically, the reduction reached 0.29% in the buccal-palatal direction, 5.87% in the mesial-distal dimension, and 14.32% in vertical dimension.

Conclusions: This study confirmed that the volume of DBBM has a certain amount of reduction within 6 months after sinus floor augmentation. The reduction in vertical direction is most severe.

Orbital trauma can result in significant complications, particularly when accompanied by foreign body entrapment. Wooden foreign bodies are rare but carry a high risk of infection and chronic inflammation. In these cases, immediate surgical intervention is critical for restoring orbital anatomy and preventing complications.

Background: Oroantral communication (OAC) is a perforation between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus, commonly occurring after maxillary posterior tooth extraction. The role of imaging in identifying high-risk cases remains unclear.

Purpose: The study aimed to estimate the association between periapical and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging with OAC exposure during maxillary posterior tooth extraction and evaluate the necessity of CBCT in clinical decision-making.

: Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) is commonly used to increase posterior maxillary bone volume prior to implant placement. Although generally successful, late complications can impact long-term outcomes. The purpose of the study was to estimate the incidence and timing of atypical late complications following (MSFA) using bovine xenohybrid bone grafts.

Purpose: This long-term retrospective case series study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and to identify risk factors for peri-implantitis associated with the one-step lateral sinus floor elevation (LSFE) procedure in patients with a severely atrophic posterior maxilla.

Materials And Methods: Clinical data were obtained from Periodontic Department at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. One-step, non-submerged LSFE enabled simultaneous implant placement in sites with residual bone height < 5 mm.

Purpose: To evaluate the equivalent stress and displacement of maxillary sinus floor mucosa by three-dimensional finite element analysis under different types of maxillary sinus floor.

Methods: Three-dimensional finite element models of three different maxillary sinus floor shapes (shallow concave, deep concave and convex) were established by three-dimensional reconstruction of maxillary sinus bones and mucosa. The process of applying dynamic impact load to the maxillary sinus floor was simulated by using the ejector during maxillary sinus lifting operation, and the biomechanical characteristics of different maxillary sinus floor mucosa during ejection was analyzed.
