Osteotome Sinus Floor Elevation without Bone Grafts – A 3‐Year Retrospective Study with Astra Tech Implants

Background: The bone support for implants in the posterior part of the maxilla is often poor. This condition may be treated with augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor. The most common technique used is to elevate the sinus floor by inserting a bone graft through a window opened in the lateral antral wall. In 1994, a less‐invasive technique using osteotomes was suggested by Summers. Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcome of implants placed in the posterior maxilla with the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique without grafting. Materials and Methods: The study population comprised 36 consecutive patients in whom 53 implants were inserted with the OSFE technique. The indication for sinus floor elevation was that the bone height below the maxillary sinus was considered to be 10 mm or less. Results: The mean height of the alveolar process in the intended implant sites was 6.3 ± 0.3 mm, and the mean elevation of the sinus floor was 4.4 ± 0.2 mm. Two implants in edentulous patients were lost at the 1‐year follow‐up, and one more at the 3‐year examination. The remaining 50 implants inserted were in function, giving a 3‐year cumulative survival rate of 94%. Implants used in single‐tooth replacements and in partially edentulous cases had a 100% survival rate. The marginal bone level at the time of loading of the implants was 0.1 ± 0.04 mm below the reference point. One year later, the corresponding value was 0.5 ± 0.06 mm. The mean bone loss between the two examinations was 0.4 ± 0.05 mm. At the final examination after 3 years, the mean bone level was situated 0.6 ± 0.09 mm below the reference point, indicating a nonsignificant change between 1 year and 3 years. Conclusions: The OSFE technique, without bone grafts, was found to produce predictable results in the treatment of 36 patients with restricted bone volume in the posterior part of the maxilla.

Osteotome sinus floor elevation with or without grafting: a preliminary clinical trial

Objectives: This clinical trial aimed (1) to evaluate the predictability of the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique, (2) to study the influence of simultaneous grafting on the clinical success of placing dental implants in the posterior maxilla using OSFE and (3) to observe the bone changes in the elevated space with OSFE without grafting. Material and methods: Two hundred and eighty Straumann^® implants were placed in the posterior maxillae of 202 patients using OSFE. One hundred and ninety‐one implants were placed in 125 patients without grafting. The implants were allowed to heal for 3–4 months for non‐grafted implants and for 6–8 months for grafted cases. For radiographic analyses, periapical and panoramic radiographs were taken of 30 implants at 3 and 9 months to assess the bone changes for the elevated sites without grafting. Results: Two hundred and sixty‐eight of 280 implants fulfilling the survival criteria represented a cumulative survival rate of 95.71%. The residual bone height (RBH) was 5.6±2.5 mm for the non‐grafted group and 4.7±2.1 mm for the grafted group. The perforation rate was 4.29%. No significant differences were found between the two groups in RBH, survival rate or membrane perforation rate. The radiographic analyses demonstrated that new bone formation in the elevated sinus was visible and the endo‐sinus bone gain was 2.26±0.92 mm and 2.66±0.87 mm at 3‐ and 9‐ month follow‐up, respectively. Crestal bone loss (CBL) was 0.89±0.5 and 1.2±0.48 mm at 3 and 9 months. For the two test groups, RBH did not have a significant influence on the survival of the implants. At the 9‐month follow‐up, the endo‐sinus bone gain and CBL were not significantly correlated to RBH. The implant protrusion length was significantly correlated to the endo‐sinus bone gain. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated that uneventful osseointegration may be predictable on applying OSFE whether with or without grafting in atrophic posterior maxilla. Spontaneous new bone formation seemed to be expected with implants placed using OSFE without simultaneous grafting. To cite this article:

Resonance frequency analysis of stability on ITI implants with osteotome sinus floor elevation technique without grafting: a 5-month prospective study

Objective: The aim of the present study was to (1) monitor the stability changes of ITI implants placed in atrophic posterior maxillary ridges with osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) without grafting during the first 5 months of healing utilizing resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and (2) determine the factors that affect the implant stability quotient (ISQ) at placement and healings. Material and methods: Forty‐two ITI implants were placed in the posterior maxilla in 32 patients with OSFE without bone grafting. The residual vertical bone height ranged from 4 to 8 mm (average 6.36 mm). Bone type was classified into one to four groups according to the Lekholm and Zarb index. ISQ was tested on the day of surgery and consecutively at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 20 weeks by RFA. Results: The 40 osseointegrated implants represented a survival rate of 95.2%. All the 40 implants achieved good primary stability and reached a comparably high stability at 16 weeks postoperation with a dip between 2 and 6 weeks in the stability curve. There was no significant difference of ISQ between type3 and type4 bone at implant placement and follow‐up. The mean ISQ and its changing pattern did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference according to the pretreatment vertical bone height and implant length. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated that uneventful osseointegration may be predictable applying OSFE alone with no grafting in atrophic posterior maxilla. Residual bone height (RBH), implant length, and bone type did not seem to affect the implant stability in this clinical situation.

Osteotome sinus floor elevation technique without grafting material: 3-year results of a prospective pilot study

Objective: In a prospective pilot study, short≤10 mm ITI-SLA implants were placed in the resorbed posterior maxilla by means of an osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) procedure without grafting material. This paper presents 3-year data assessing bone-level changes around implants.
Material and methods: Twenty-five implants were placed in 17 patients to rehabilitate 16 molar and nine premolar sites. The mean residual bone height (RBH) was 5.4 ± 2.3 mm. A healing period of 3–4 months was allowed before abutment tightening. Most implants (21/25) were 10 mm long, and the others were 8 and 6 mm long. At the 3-year control, endo-sinus bone gain, implant length protruding into the sinus and crestal bone loss (CBL) were measured on periapical radiographs.
Results: All implants fulfilled the survival criteria. Despite the absence of grafting material, implants were embedded into newly formed bone tissue. All implants gained endo-sinus bone; the mean gained bone was 3.1 ± 1.5 mm. The residual protrusion length decreased from 4.9 ± 2.1 to 1.8 ± 2.1 mm. CBL was 0.9 ± 0.8 mm.
Conclusions: This study confirms that the OSFE procedure without grafting material is sufficient to create bone beyond the natural limit of the sinus. On the mid-term of 3 years, the technique was found to be predictable in the posterior maxilla when the RBH is limited. Implants gained endo-sinus bone despite the lack of grafting material. Bone gain was still improving over the first-year control. No shrinkage of the augmented area was observed.     

Transcrestal sinus floor elevation: a retrospective study of 46 patients up to 16 years

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiographic data of transcrestal sinus floor elevation (TSFE) of residual alveolar bone ≤3 mm. Methods: Forty‐six patients, edentulous in one or both maxillary posterior segments, were enrolled in this study. The residual alveolar ridge was measured. TSFE without bone grafting was performed. Three months after the first surgery procedure, 66 implants were placed without grafting material. A presurgical distance from the alveolar crest to the floor of the maxillary sinus and the amount of new radiopacity between the sinus floor and alveolar crest were measured from the mesial and distal surfaces of each dental implant surface. Results: After a mean follow‐up period of 10.43 ± 5.01 years (ranged from 5 to 16 years), a survival rate of 95.45% was reported. Mean bone levels at implant placement were 7.12 ± 0.90 mm and, after 1 year, were 13.28 ± 1.23 mm. They were stable over time, reporting an up to 16 years' value of 13.07 ± 2.63 mm. Conclusions: The results of this retrospective clinical study confirmed the reliability of the TSFE procedure and the maintenance of bone levels without grafting procedures over time.

Reamer-mediated transalveolar sinus floor elevation without osteotome and simultaneous implant placement in the maxillary molar area: clinical outcomes of 391 implants in 380 patients

Objectives: Minimally invasive sinus elevation and augmentation using a transalveolar approach can reduce perioperative complications and patient discomfort. A specially designed reamer accomplishes this without the use of an osteotome or a mallet. The objective of this study is to present this technique with relevant clinical cases and patient outcomes. Material and methods: Series of reamers with one cutting and one reaming edge were used to prepare an osteotomy site for posterior maxillary areas. A total of 391 osteotomies were prepared with the reamer in 380 patients, and 373 implants were placed simultaneously. In addition to the procedure's success parameters, levels of intraoperative patient comfort were monitored using a visual analogue scale. Results: The mean height of the residual alveolar process was 5.8 (0.9) mm, whereas mean elevation of the sinus floor was 6.2 (0.4) mm. Eighteen (4.6%) Schneiderian membrane perforations occurred, and the 2‐year survival rate was 95.4%. The success rate was 92.7% in sites with thin sinus floors (<4 mm) and 96.4% in sites with greater bone height (>4 mm). None of the patients experienced any discomfort during the procedure. Conclusions: Within the limits of the present study, it can be concluded that reamer‐mediated transalveolar sinus floor elevation is a reliable method for implant placement in the posterior maxilla, even at sites with ≤4 mm of residual alveolar bone height. This reamer‐mediated procedure is less invasive than traditional osteotomy and can minimize patient discomfort during sinus floor elevation. To cite this article :

Sinus floor elevation using osteotomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Various techniques of sinus floor elevation (SFE) are described. The elevation with osteotomes (OSFE) from a crestal approach is a relatively new technique. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical outcome of implants placed into the maxillary sinus augmented with an OSFE technique. METHODS: A systematic online and manual review of the literature identified articles dealing with OSFE. Applying rigid inclusion criteria, screening and data abstraction were performed independently by two reviewers. The follow-up of loaded implants was a minimum of 6 months. The identified articles were analyzed regarding implant outcome and defined surgical aspects. Survival and success rates were estimated by Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS: Eight out of 44 articles dealing with osteotome sinus floor elevation met the inclusion criteria. Five of the studies met established success criteria. The survival and success rates were 95.7% and 96.0% after 24 months and 36 months, respectively. The median and mean follow-up periods were 24 and 18.73 months for the survival rate and 24 and 19.7 months for the success rate. Regarding different surgical elements, i.e., osteotome techniques, implant types, and augmentation materials, the database was multivariate. Thus, no statistical analysis could be performed on these parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term clinical success/survival (相似文献

Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Using Prehydrated Corticocancellous Porcine Bone: Hystomorphometric Evaluation after 6 Months

Background: Insufficient alveolar bone height often prevents the placement of standard dental implants in the posterior part of edentulous maxilla. In order to increase adequately the vertical dimension of the reabsorbed alveolar process, a sinus lift procedure is often necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate histologic results of a prehydrated corticocancellous porcine bone used in maxillary sinus augmentation. Methods: Patients (age 18–70 years) with a residual bone height requiring a maxillary sinus augmentation procedure to place dental implants were eligible for this study. All patients were treated with the same surgical technique consisting of sinus floor augmentation via a lateral approach. The space obtained by elevation of the mucosa wall was grafted with prehydrated and collagenated corticocancellous porcine bone. Biopsies were harvested 6 months after the augmentation procedures. Results: Twenty‐four patients were enrolled. The mean percentage of new formed bone was 43.9 ± 18.6% (range 7.5–100%), whereas the mean percentage of residual graft material was 14.2 ± 13.6% (range 0–41.9%). The new bone/residual graft material ratio in the maxillary sinuses was 3.1. The mean soft tissues percentage was 41.8 ± 22.7% (range 0–92.5%). Conclusion: The present study suggested that porcine bone showed excellent osteoconductive properties and could be used successfully for sinus augmentation. Moreover, the porcine bone showed a high percentage of reabsorption after 6 months; this might be because of the presence of collagen and the porosity of the graft material.     

Peri-implant conditions in periodontally compromised patients following maxillary sinus augmentation. A long-term post-therapy trial

Augmentation of the maxillary sinus in the atrophied edentulous posterior maxilla is an integral part of implant prosthodontics. This study examined the clinical outcome in 50 periodontally compromised successfully treated subjects with severe maxillary atrophy following oral implantation with Bråemark. IMZ or Frialit-2 endosseous implants between 1991 and 1994. Simultaneous sinus augmentation was achieved using auto-genous bone grafts harvested from the anterior mandible. Oral implants in 37 periodontally healthy patients directly placed in the stable local maxillary bone served as controls. The oral rehabilitation included implant supported restorations or removable superstructures over a period between 3 and 5 years. The peri-implant status of implant abutments inserted in the periodontal compromised augmented maxilla resulted in values comparable to the local maxillary bone except for the GCF rates with enhanced levels of 63.9±49.9 (controls 37.9±40.7). The average peri-implant Periotest values in the augmented maxillary sinus (test group) were ?3.1 PT and +0.2 PT in the controls. The Periotest scores in the sinus area ranked between ?7.0 and +5.0 with mean PT values of ?1.5 for IMZ, ?3.2 for Bråemark and ?4.0 for Frialit-2 abutments. The functional integration of oral implants following sinus augmentation with autologous bone grafts and conventionally placed endosseous implants in the local bone was similar. The additional implant stabilization within the mandibular cortical bone grafts resulted in very low Periotest scores. In periodontally compromised subjects treated for chronic adult periodontitis with minimal maxillary bone height less than 5 mm the endosseous implantation with simultaneous sinus augmentation is recommended as an appropriate technique for long-term oral implant rehabilitation.

??Vertical bone deficiency is common in the edentulous posterior maxilla. During the last decades??maxillary sinus floor elevation has become a reliable and predictable augmentation technique to facilitate implant placement in the posterior maxilla region with inadequate bone height. Sinus floor elevation by transcrestal approach gained lots of popularity recently due to the advantages such as less trauma??shortened surgical time and less postoperative reaction??but it requires that clinicians have rich experience in lateral window technique in case of handling with the complications of membrane perforation and bleeding??etc. This article discussed the risk factors and management of membrane perforation during sinus floor elevation by lateral window approach.     

经侧壁开窗上颌窦底外提升植骨术窦黏膜穿孔及处理

垂直骨量不足是上颌后牙种植的常见问题。上颌窦底提升植骨技术为种植体植入及修复创造了条件,成为上颌后牙区骨量不足的常规骨增量技术。穿牙槽嵴技术（内提升）虽然具有创伤更小、手术时间缩短、并发症更少等优点,但是要求医生具有侧壁开窗上颌窦底提升（外提升）的经验,以便于临床中能够及时安全有效地处理内提升出现的并发症。上颌窦外提升虽可发生术中黏膜穿孔、术后感染等并发症,但经过妥善处理,仍可获得良好的植骨效果和较高的种植体存留率。文章针对上颌窦外提升最常见的黏膜穿孔,针对其发生的风险因素及穿孔处理进行报告,为上颌后牙缺失患者的种植修复治疗提供参考。     

Localized Management of Sinus Floor Technique for Implant Placement in Fresh Molar Sockets

Background: The use of osteotome for vertical bone augmentation and localized sinus elevation with minimal surgical trauma represents a suitable procedure to increase the vertical dimension of available bone for implant placement. Purpose: The aim of this study was to report clinical and radiographic results of localized management of sinus floor (LMSF) in fresh molar sockets at 13‐year follow‐up. Materials and Methods: Fifty‐three patients, needing one or two maxillary molar extraction, were enrolled in this study. LMFS procedure was performed and 68 implants were positioned. A presurgical distance from the alveolar crest to the floor of the maxillary sinus and the amount of new radiopacity between the sinus floor and alveolar crest were measured from the mesial and distal surfaces of each dental implant surface. Results: After a mean follow‐up period of 9.76 ± 5.27 years (ranged from 4 to 17 years) a survival rate of 100% was reported. Mean bone height at temporary prosthesis placement was 7.99 ± 1.16 mm. They were stable over time, reporting a mean value of 8.01 ± 1.46 mm at 13‐year follow‐up. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that LMSF procedure in fresh molar sockets allowed to expand the dimensions of resorbed posterior maxillary alveolar bone both vertically and horizontally with a success rate of 100% of implant osseointegration over time.
