Immediate postoperative complications after lateral ridge augmentation - a clinical comparison between bone shell technique and sticky bone.

Nowadays, implant dentistry is strongly interconnected to bone augmentation procedures. Lateral ridge augmentation is often an imperative treatment stage for successful, prosthetic-driven implant placement. This study aimed to comparatively analyze the immediate postoperative complications of two horizontal bone grafting procedures: sticky bone and bone shell technique.

Incidence, Size and Orientation of Maxillary Sinus Septa-A Retrospective Clinical Study.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze if there is any statistical correlation between the surgery's complexity (easy to difficult-depending on the anatomical conditions) and the patient's sex, type of edentulism, and left or right side of the maxilla.

Methods: Cone beam computed tomography records of 1192 maxillary sinuses were evaluated, measured, and statistically analyzed with respect to patient sex, type of edentulism, and left or right side, taking into consideration Wen's proposed sinus septum classification.

Results: Our research suggests that most sinus augmentation procedures in patients presenting antral septum fall into the Moderate A category (31.

Guided Bone Regeneration with Concentrated Growth Factor Enriched Bone Graft Matrix (Sticky Bone) vs. Bone-Shell Technique in Horizontal Ridge Augmentation: A Retrospective Study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical results of two different horizontal ridge augmentation techniques: guided bone regeneration with sticky bone (SB) and the bone-shell technique (BS).

Methods: Records of patients who underwent horizontal ridge augmentation with SB (test) and BS (control) were screened for inclusion. Pre-operative and 6-month post-operative ridge widths were measured on cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) and compared.

PRF-Solution in Large Sinus Membrane Perforation with Simultaneous Implant Placement-Micro CT and Histological Analysis.

Background: The purpose of the study was to analyze the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a single augmentation material for complicated cases of maxillary sinus floor elevation, resulting from membrane perforation or previous infections.

Methods: Implant insertion in the posterior region of the maxilla was simultaneously performed with maxillary sinus floor augmentation. Schneiderian membrane elevation can be accompanied by extremely serious sinus membrane perforation, due to accidental tearing or intended incision for mucocele removal.

Management of Schneiderian Membrane Perforations during Sinus Augmentation Procedures: A Preliminary Comparison of Two Different Approaches.

Background: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze two different sealing techniques for sinus membrane perforations produced during sinus floor augmentation by a lateral approach.

Methods: A total of 172 lateral-approach sinus floor augmentation surgeries were performed on 130 patients. Sixty-one membrane perforations (35%) were reported.
