Article Abstract

Purpose: It is well known that the success of dental implants is directly related to bone quantity and quality. This experimental animal study aimed to evaluate the histological and radiological effects of autogenous blood (AB), advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and non-grafted following supported sinus floor elevation by resorbable membrane and ultrasonic-activated pin system.

Materials And Methods: Twenty one sinus floor lifting procedures were performed in eleven New Zealand rabbits that were divided into three groups. Each group planned to include seven maxillary sinus regions. Resorbable membrane and ultrasonic-activated pins (SonicWeld Rx®, KLS Martin) were used to support the elevated sinus floor in all groups. After the elevation of the sinus floor, bone defects were supported with autogenous blood (Group 1), with A-PRF in (Group 2) and without using any material in the control group (Group 3). The rabbits were sacrificed at 8 weeks after surgery. Specimens obtained from the upper and lower regions. Radiographic and histologic examinations were performed on all samples. The radiologic examination was performed on new bone formation based on density difference (Grayscale/GS) in axial, coronal and sagittal planes on CBCT sections. Histologic evaluation was performed by analyzing new bone tissue percentage/score, inflammation and fibrous tissue parameters.

Results: In radiologic evaluation, the differences in GS values obtained in Group 3 in all planes were significantly lower than in Group 1 and Group 2, indicating significantly higher bone formation (p<0.05). In histologic evaluation, the percentage and score of newly formed bone were higher for Group 3; however, that difference was significant between Group 3 and Group 1 for the specimens taken from the upper regions (p=0.005 and p=0.018, respectively). Fibrous tissue formation was lower in Group 3; the difference was significant between Group 3 and Group 1 for the specimens taken from the upper regions (p=0.037). Inflammation values were similar between the groups.

Conclusions: New bone formation after sinus floor elevation without using graft material has been associated with more successful outcomes than the group using AB and A-PRF in terms of histological and radiographical parameters.

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.
