An Animal Ex Vivo Model Comparing Two Different Methods of Sinus Floor Elevation with Great Elevation Heights: Macroscopic, Microscopic and Radiological Analysis.

Introduction: Maxillary sinus pneumatization increases with age and tooth loss, leading to a reduction in the maxillary alveolar ridge, which often results in insufficient bone height for the proper placement of dental implants. This study focused on performing maxillary sinus elevations in ex vivo bisected pig heads using novel access and elevation devices, comparing these with the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique.

Materials And Methods: An experimental study was conducted using 20 ex vivo adult pig heads.

Pain Experienced during Various Dental Procedures: Clinical Trial Comparing the Use of Traditional Syringes with the Controlled-Flow Delivery Dentapen Technique.

: Currently, one of the most discouraging aspects for many patients undergoing dental procedures is the administration of anaesthesia. Consequently, there is a constant search for new techniques to avoid the invasive and painful nature of the injection. A new motorised syringe system (Dentapen) has recently been developed, standing out for its convenience and ease of use.
