Prevalence of Maxillary Sinus Pathology Based on Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of Multiethnicity Dental School Population.

Objective: The goal of the study was to evaluate prevalence of maxillary sinus pathology among populations considered for possible sinus augmentation procedures for dental implants.

Study Design: Eight hundred twenty-one cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were retrospectively evaluated for prevalence of maxillary sinus pathology. Scans were classified based on the type of sinus pathology detected.

Prevalence of maxillary sinus pathology in patients considered for sinus augmentation procedures for dental implants.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of maxillary sinus pathology in patients presenting for implant rehabilitation involving sinus augmentation procedures.

Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional images of 275 patients were evaluated. Age and gender were recorded to see if they had any relationship to the prevalence of pathology.

Prophylactic antibiotic regimens in oral implantology: rationale and protocol.

The use of antimicrobials reduces the incidence of surgical wound infection in oral implantology. Antimicrobial prophylaxis is indicated in all Class 2 (clean-contaminated) surgical procedures, which include sufficient blood levels at the time of bacterial contamination of dental implant and bone graft procedures. Timing and dosage are critical to the efficacy of antibiotics.

A prospective multicenter clinical investigation of a bone quality-based dental implant system.

This article reports the 5-year interim results of an independently monitored, prospective, multicenter clinical trial of a bone quality-based implant design. At six study centers, 495 implants were placed in 151 cases with an average follow-up period of 1.6 years (range: 1.
