Postextraction osteotome sinus floor elevation technique using plasma-rich growth factors / S. Taschieri, M. Del Fabbro. - In: IMPLANT DENTISTRY. - ISSN 1056-6163. - 20:6(2011), pp. 418-424.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate a modified osteotome sinus floor elevation technique with immediate postextraction implant placement and the adjunct of a platelet-derived fibrin plug for the rehabilitation of maxillary premolar sites.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
Fifteen patients with nonrestorable fractured endodontically treated maxillary premolars were consecutively enrolled in the study. After extraction, the membrane was gradually elevated using osteotomes, with the interposition of a fibrin clot. Subsequently, an implant embedded with plasma very rich in growth factors was inserted.
RESULTS:
No implant failed after a mean follow-up of 35 months. The average membrane lift was 2.9 ± 0.8 mm. After 1 year of loading, marginal bone loss averaged 0.36 ± 0.19 mm. No postoperative symptoms were reported. All patients reported full satisfaction for mastication function, phonetics, and aesthetics.
CONCLUSIONS:
The present technique represents a viable option for the rehabilitation of fresh postextraction maxillary premolar sockets.
