상악 구치부는 치조제 골 흡수와 상악동 함기화로 인해 가용골의 양은 제한되고 골질도 좋지 않은 경우가 대부분으로 상악동저의 거상 후 가용골의 증대와 취약한 골에서 임플란트의 견고한 초기 고정을 획득하는 것이 중요하다. 심하게 위축된 치조제의 경우 임플란트의 적절한 초기 고정 획득을 위해 측방접근법을 통한 상악동 골이식술이나 지연 임플란트 식립법이 추천되나 본 연구에서는 수직적 잔존골 높이가 3 mm 이하인 상악 구치부 세 증례를 통해 수직 골 소실이 심한 상악 구치부에서 전통적인 개념과는 달리 최소침습적 수술법으로 치조정 접근을 통한 상악동 골이식과 동시에 임플란트 식립을 시행하여 합병증 없이 충분한 길이의 임플란트 식립이 가능함을 제안한다.

Purpose: This study was performed to establish an experimental rabbit model for single-stage maxillary sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement. Methods: Twelve mature New Zealand white rabbits were used for the experiments. The rabbit maxillary sinuses were divided into 3 groups according to sinus augmentation materials: blood clot (BC), autogenous bone (AB), and bovine-derived hydroxyapatite (BHA). Small titanium implants were simultaneously placed in the animals during the sinus augmentation procedure. The rabbits were sacrificed 4 and 8 weeks after surgery and were observed histologically. Histomorphometric analyses using image analysis software were also performed to evaluate the parameters related to bone regeneration and implant-bone integration. Results: The BC group showed an evident collapse of the sinus membrane and limited new bone formation around the original sinus floor at 4 and 8 weeks. In the AB group, the sinus membrane was well retained above the implant apex, and new bone formation was significant at both examination periods. The BHA group also showed retention of the elevated sinus membrane above the screw apex and evident new bone formation at both points in time. The total area of the mineral component (TMA) in the area of interest and the bone-to-implant contact did not show any significant differences among all the groups. In the AB group, the TMA had significantly decreased from 4 to 8 weeks. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, the rabbit sinus model showed satisfactory results in the comparison of different grafting conditions in single-stage sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement. We found that the rabbit model was useful for maxillary sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement.

Objectives: The purpose of this animal research was to compare bone regeneration in augmented rabbit maxillary sinuses treated with demineralized particulate human-tooth graft and anorganic bovine bone by immunohistochemical analysis. Materials and Methods: Piezoelectric bilateral sinus augmentation was performed in eight adult rabbits. In the control group, anorganic bovine was grafted in the maxillary sinus following elevation of the sinus membrane. In the experimental group, demineralized human particulate tooth bone was grafted in the sinus. Bone regeneration in augmented sinuses was evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis using various markers of osteoprogenitor cells. Results: The number of bromodeoxyuridine-labeled cells was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group at eight weeks. The immunoreactivity of proliferating-cell nuclear antigen was increased slightly in the experimental group relative to the control group at eight weeks. Other bone markers were expressed equally in the two groups. Conclusion: In the rabbit maxillary sinus, higher osteoinduction was correlated with demineralized human particulate tooth bone grafting than with anorganic bovine grafting.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate 3.5 years-cumulative survival rate of implants placed on augmentedsinus using Osteon, a bone graft material, and to assess the height of the grafted material through radiographic evaluation. Methods: Twenty patients were treated with maxillary sinus augmentation and 45 implant fixtures were installed simultaneously or after 6 months healing period. The height of the augmented sinus and the loss of marginal bone were measured by panoramic and intraoral radiographs immediately after augmentation and up to 42 months (mean, 19.4 months) subsequently. Changes in the height of the sinus graft material were calculated radiographically. Results: The cumulative survival rate was 95.56% in all 45 implants. Additionall, normal healing process without any complication was observed in all patients. The original sinus height was mean 4.3 mm and the augmented sinus height was mean 13.4 mm after the surgery. The mean marginal bone loss till 42 months was $0.52{\pm}0.56\;mm$. The reduced height of Osteon was $0.83{\pm}0.38\;mm$ and it did not show significant correlation with the follow up periods (P=0.102). There were no statistically significant differences in reduced height of Osteon according to the simultaneous/delayed implantation (P=0.299) and particle size of Osteon (P=0.644). Conclusions: It can be suggested that Osteon may have predictable result when it was used as a grafting material for sinus floor augmentation.

Today, maxillary sinus graft is considered to be the most prognostic of bone augmentation surgery as a preprosthetic treatment. Implant survival rates of more than 95% can be expected if appropriate decisions are made on the basis of implants, implant surface morphology, and use of a shield over the maxillary sinus front-wall. In addition, maxillary sinus grafty has a low rate of complications, and even if complications occur during or after maxillary sinus graft, most are localized and easily recovered.

Purpose: Sinus elevation procedures have become a routine and reliable way to gain bone volume in the edentulous maxilla for dental implant placement. Presence of bony septations and pathology in the maxillary sinus often cause complications leading to graft or implant failure or both. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the prevalence of pathology, direction of the septa, and sinus width measured at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm from the sinus floor in maxillary sinuses using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Seventy-two sinuses from 36 random preoperative CBCT scans referred for implant therapy were retrospectively evaluated for the number, prevalence, and direction of bony septations and presence of pathology. Width of the sinus was also measured at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm from the sinus floor to account for the amount of bone available for implant placement. Results: Maxillary sinus septa were found in 59.7%. Presence of a single septum was noted in 20 sinuses (27.7%), followed by two septa in 17 sinuses. The most common direction of the septum was the transverse direction. Retention pseudocyst and mucosal thickening were the most commonly seen abnormality/pathology. Conclusion: Based on the high prevalence of septa and sinus pathology in this sample, a preoperative CBCT scan might be helpful in minimizing complications during sinus augmentation procedures for dental implant therapy.

Purpose: By reviewing literature on the subject, we compared the survival rate of implants placed in various graft materials used for maxillary sinus augmentation. Materials and Methods: The search protocol used the Pubmed electronic database, with a time limit from 1998 to 2009. Keywords such as 'sinus lift,' 'sinus augmentation,' 'sinus floor elevation,' 'sinus graft,' 'bone graft,' 'implants,' 'oral implants,' and 'dental implants' were used, alone and in combination, to search the database. We selected articles and divided them into three groups by type of graft materials: Group 1. Autogenous bone group: autogenous bone alone; Group 2. Combined bone group: autogenous bone in combination with bone substitutes; and Group 3. Substitute group: bone substitutes alone or bone substitute combinations. Results: We selected 37 articles concerning a total of 2,257 patients and 7,282 implants; 417 implants failed. The total implant survival rate (ISR, %) was 94.3%. In Group 1, 761 patients and 2,644 implants were studied; 179 implants failed and the ISR was 93.2%. In Group 2, 583 patients and 1,931 implants were studied; 126 implants failed and the ISR was 93.5%. In Group 3, 823 patients and 2,707 implants were studied; 112 implants failed and the ISR was 95.9%. Conclusion: Implants inserted in grafts composed of bone substitutes alone or in grafts composed of autogenous bone in combination with bone substitutes may achieve survival rates better than those for implants using autogenous bone alone (P<0.05).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the amount of height available for a maxillary sinus augmentation procedure without blocking the ostium and jeopardizing the drainage of the ostiomeatal complex using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 sinonasal complexes comprising 100 dentate and 100 edentulous scans were retrospectively assessed using CBCT. Invivo 5.0, a CBCT reconstruction program, was used for image evaluation. The coronal section demonstrating the ostiomeatal complex was selected as a reference view to perform measurements of the sinus. The measurements were done by 2 evaluators in separate sessions. Comparative analyses of measurements were performed between dentate and edentulous patients and between male and female patients. Results: The safe height to which the sinus can be elevated without compromising the integrity of the ostiomeatal complex was calculated for each sinus. In the presence of significant mucosal thickening, the height available for augmentation was calculated by subtracting the height of mucosal thickening from the sinus floor to the location of the ostium. In this study, the available height was approximately 27.05 mm for dentate and 23.40 mm for edentulous patients. The inter-operator reliability was excellent for all the parameters evaluated. Conclusion: This retrospective study with a limited number of patients from a single university-based site shows that CBCT is valuable in evaluating the location and patency of the ostium for planning sinus augmentation procedures for dental implant placement.

Maxillary sinus grafting is a dependable procedure that has been in use for a long time. However, clinical complications often arise. To prevent complications of maxillary sinus grafting, it is necessary to know the contra-indications, both for general implantation and for maxillary bone grafting. In addition, presence of various complications requires careful consideration of treatment method; therefore, dentists should be familiar with the treatment protocols. Complications can be divided into postoperative, immediate postoperative, and delayed postoperative complications. Particularly for the outpatient, it is necessary to quickly distinguish between treatable cases and cases for which transfer is required. The purpose of this review is to discuss the contra-indications, complications, and treatment options for complications of maxillary sinus graft.

Purpose : To investigate and compare the prevalence, size, and location of maxillary sinus septa on panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods : Two hundred patients who had taken both panoramic and CBCT images were included. The location of maxillary sinus septa on the panoramic radiographs were recorded and confirmed on the CBCT images. Also the size of septa was measured on the reformatted CBCT images. Results : The prevalence of the patients who had maxillary sinus septa was 51.0% and they showed 179 septa totally. Among them 51.0% of the patients had one septum, 32.4% two septa, 13.7% three, and 2.9% four. The measured heights of the septa were $4.37{\pm}2.87\;mm$, $3.51{\pm}2.47\;mm$, and $3.04{\pm}2.37\;mm$ in the medial, middle, and lateral areas, respectively. It was revealed that 1.0% was located at canine region, 18.0% at first premolar, 25.0% at second premolar, 22.7% at first molar, 19.8% at second molar, and 14.0% at third molar region. Among 213 septa depicted by the panoramic radiographs, only 69.0% were confirmed at the CBCT images. Conclusion : Since various heights and courses of the septa can develop in all parts of the maxillary sinus, adequate assessment of the inner aspect of the maxillary sinus is essential to avoid complications during sinus augmentation procedures. CBCT scanning is the preferred radiographic method for detecting the presence of sinus septa.
