Por qué importa

Este estudio piloto evalúa la elevación transcrestal del seno maxilar mediante la técnica de osseodensificación, combinada con beta-fosfato tricálcico, para la colocación de implantes dentales. Se analizaron los resultados clínicos y radiográficos en trece pacientes con altura ósea residual inferior a 8 mm en el maxilar posterior. El objetivo principal fue determinar la tasa de éxito de los implantes y cuantificar el aumento de altura ósea conseguido inmediatamente tras la cirugía y a los doce meses. Los hallazgos sugieren que esta técnica puede ser predecible para lograr una elevación del seno, permitiendo la inserción simultánea de implantes con una estabilidad adecuada, incluso en casos de altura ósea limitada. Estos resultados son de interés para la práctica clínica en implantología, ofreciendo una alternativa en situaciones de compromiso óseo.

Abstract original

This pilot study aimed to evaluate the level of implant success after transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) using the osseodensification technique (OD) combined with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) by analyzing clinical and radiographic results. Moreover, the increase in bone height was analyzed immediately after surgery, 3 months after, and before loading by taking standardized radiographic measurements. Thirteen patients, four males and nine females, with a mean age of 54.69 ± 5.86 years, requiring the placement of one implant in the upper posterior maxilla, with a residual bone height of <8 mm and a minimum bone width of 5 mm, participated in the study. The bone gain data was obtained using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) immediately after surgery and twelve months after the placement. The correlation between initial and final bone height with implant stability was also assessed. The results were analyzed using SPSS 23 software (p < 0.05). The results of the study indicated a 100% implant success rate after a follow-up period of twelve months. Preoperative main bone height was 5.70 ± 0.95 mm. The osseodensification technique allowed a significant increase of 6.65 ± 1.06 mm immediately after surgery. After a twelve-month follow-up, a graft material contraction of 0.90 ± 0.49 mm was observed. No correlation was observed between the bone height at the different times of the study and the primary stability of the implant. Considering the limitations of the size sample of this study, the osseodensification technique used for transcrestal sinus lift with the additional bone graft material (β-TCP) may provide a predictable elevation of the maxillary sinus floor, allowing simultaneous implant insertion with adequate stability irrespective of bone height limitations.
