Abstract

Following tooth loss it may be necessary to increase the amount of bone at the maxillary alveolar ridge into which dental implants are to be inserted. Augmentation of the maxillary sinus is performed for this purpose. It may be considered as a routine intervention, but like all surgical methods, it involves certain risks. The authors intended to assess the frequency of complications among the sinus-floor elevations that they have performed.

Simplified procedure for augmentation of the sinus floor using a haemostatic nasal balloon.

Perforation of the sinus membrane is the most common complication of sinus lift augmentation. A haemostatic nasal balloon can easily separate the sinus membrane without perforating it. The use of a haemostatic nasal balloon has three major advantages: a low risk of perforation of the sinus membrane even in anatomically complex conditions, a low incidence of infection and bleeding, and a shorter operating time.

Making bone: implant insertion into tissue-engineered bone for maxillary sinus floor augmentation-a preliminary report.

Autologous, allogenic and alloplastic materials for bony reconstruction in the cranio-maxillofacial area have many drawbacks thus stimulating the on-going search for new (bio-)materials. Whereas cultivated skin and mucosa are already in clinical routine use in head and neck reconstruction, so far there has been no successful clinical application to the best of our knowledge of periosteum-derived, tissue-engineered bone for augmentation of the edentulous posterior maxilla. In a pilot study, augmentation of the posterior maxilla was carried out using a bone matrix derived from mandibular periosteal cells on a polymer fleece. This paper demonstrates fabrication of the matrix, clinical application, and the histological results in two patients. The results suggest that periosteum-derived osteoblasts on a suitable matrix form lamellar bone within 4 months which allows reliable implant insertion.

Satisfaction and psychosocial aspects of patients with an extremely resorbed mandible treated with implant-retained overdentures. A prospective, comparative study.

The objective of the present report was to study the effect of implant treatment on subjective parameters in edentulous patients with an extremely resorbed mandible. Three different treatment modalities to support an overdenture were compared: transmandibular implant according to Bosker, augmentation of the mandible followed by four endosseous implants, and the insertion of four short endosseous implants. Sixty patients [50 women and 10 men, mean (+/- SD) age 59 (+/- 11) years] met the inclusion criteria and were assigned in one of the three treatment groups. Before treatment and 12 months after placement of the new overdentures, denture satisfaction, psychosocial aspects and experiences during the surgical phase were assessed with a battery of questionnaires. After 1 year, 58 patients were available for evaluation: one patient had died, and one patient had moved out of the region. There was a significant improvement of patient satisfaction and psychosocial functioning in all three treatment groups. At the 1-year evaluation, differences amongst the three groups were not significant. However, in terms of discomfort and pain during the surgical phase as well as the length of this phase (at least 6 months), the augmentation using an autologous bone graft from the iliac crest followed by inserting four endosseous implants 3 months later appeared the least favorite option of the three modalities studied.
