Effect of amount of biomaterial used for maxillary sinus lift on volume maintenance of grafts
2020
Background Regardless of the kind of biomaterial used for the graft, it is clear that, over time, the graft undergoes dimensional changes that could influence the final bone volume obtained, which could alter the stability of the installed implants. The aim of the present study was to compared and correlated the graft behavior with the amount (in grams) of xenogeneic and alloplastic biomaterials used in grafts for maxillary sinus lift. Material and Methods This retrospective cohort study used 148 CBCT images of 74 grafts from 68 maxillary sinuses lift patients in a university, post-graduate clinic. The weights of biomaterials, categorized in intervals according to amount used, were correlat…
Extra short 4mm implants used to rehabilitation of atrophic posterior mandible. A serial case reports
2020
Rehabilitation of patients through implants in areas with severe bone resorption in the posterior mandible is a challenge in implant dentistry. In this context, extra short implants configure a treatment option for this type of patient, as they can avoid increased financial cost, treatment time and patient morbidity. The present study evaluated the marginal bone stability in individualized extra-short implants for masticatory function in the posterior mandible. Using digitized periapical radiographs of 13 extra-short implants performed on 7 patients. The mesial and distal regions of each implant were selected, from the bone crest to the region parallel to the apex, and the bone stability of…
