"Improved" maxillary sinus lift surgery Sun Xiaolin, Luo Jiaxin Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 118-126.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.005 Abstract （321）      PDF （1637KB）（486）       Knowledge map    Save When posterior maxillary teeth are missing, the residual bone height required for implantation is insufficient due to the lack of functional stimulation from the teeth and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. When residual bone volume cannot ensure the initial stability of the implant, a maxillary sinus floor elevation is needed to increase bone volume in the posterior maxillary region. The "PESS" procedure is a "modified" maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery that uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a single bone graft material, with the aid of an endoscope to elevate the maxillary sinus floor through the alveolar ridge and place implants simultaneously. The PESS procedure has optimized maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery to some extent and reduced surgical trauma. This article elaborates on the principles, indications, clinical procedures, and precautions of the "PESS" procedure to provide technical support for its clinical application.

Current research status of transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous placement of dental implants Xia Haibin, Xu Junyi Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 109-117.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.004 Abstract （318）      PDF （1604KB）（487）       Knowledge map    Save When the residual bone height is insufficient in the maxillary posterior region, the transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement is less invasive, resulting in milder postoperative reactions and shorter treatment periods compared to the lateral window technique. However, due to the limited surgical vision and elevation technique, the transalveolar technique is susceptible to mucoperiosteal perforation or compromised osteogenesis and is therefore traditionally considered suitable only for cases where the residual bone height is mildly inadequate. With modifications to surgical instruments, improvements in clinical skills, and the assistance of digital technology, researchers have gained new insights into the indications and surgical protocols for transalveolar sinus floor elevation with simultaneous placement of dental implants. This paper presents an overview of the current basic and clinical research status of the transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implantation by reviewing recent literature.

Application of a new Tent-Peg technique in the reconstruction of severe alveolar bone defects Wang Mohan, Hu Yinghan, Wu Jing, Zou Duohong Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (5): 459-466.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.10.011 Abstract （287）      PDF （1768KB）（219）       Knowledge map    Save Adequate bone volume is crucial for the successful placement and long-term stability of dental implants. Therefore, the reconstruction of severe alveolar bone defects hold significant clinical importance. With the development of guided bone regeneration (GBR) techniques, various GBR approaches have been applied in clinical practice to address alveolar bone defects. Based on the concept of "stability-centered" alveolar bone reconstruction, we developed a series of Tent-Peg medical products and established a new Tent-Peg technique. This technique enables the reconstruction of severe alveolar bone defects without the need for autologous bone, providing a novel solution for both the functional and aesthetic reconstruction of such defects. This innovative method has been successfully validated in clinical practice, and its appeal lies in its "three lows" (low technical sensitivity, low failure rate, and low cost) and "three easies" (easy to operate, promote, and popularize). To enhance clinicians' understanding of this innovative technique, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Tent-Peg medical product series and highlights the advantages of the new Tent-Peg technique, supported by clinical case demonstrations. This overview aims to promote the standardized application of this technique in clinical practice. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Alveolar ridge preservation in inflammatory extraction sites and implant surgery Shao Zhiwen, Zhu Hanjiu, Song Yingliang Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (5): 453-458.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.10.010 Abstract （267）      PDF （1390KB）（277）       Knowledge map    Save Alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction can reduce or even prevent alveolar bone resorption and soft tissue collapse during the healing process. This helps avoid complex soft and hard tissue augmentation procedures and provides good soft and hard tissue conditions for implant surgery. While conventional alveolar ridge preservation techniques have been widely applied and have shown predictable outcomes, there is still no standardized protocol for alveolar ridge preservation in cases where teeth are extracted due to periodontitis or periapical inflammation. To improve the success rate of alveolar ridge preservation in these inflammatory extraction sites, it is necessary to understand the various influencing factors of alveolar ridge preservation. This review discusses the indications for alveolar ridge preservation in inflammatory extraction sites, the impact of inflammation on alveolar ridge preservation, the key steps of this technique, and the timing of implant placement. It also shares experiences and techniques to optimize treatment outcomes. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

A case of digitally assisted immediate implant placement through impacted teeth in the aesthetic area Zhao Ning, Li Xiaojie, Kou Ni, Ma Guowu Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (3): 266-271.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.06.012 Abstract （252）      PDF （2405KB）（327）       Knowledge map    Save This paper presents a case of digitally assisted immediate implantation through impacted teeth in the aesthetic area. The patient had a root fracture caused by an upper anterior teeth trauma. One impacted canine and two impacted supernumerary teeth were found in the bone on the root side of the affected teeth. During treatment, under the guidance of the digital surgical guide plate and assistance by Er : YAG laser, immediate implantation through the impacted teeth was achieved. At the same time, autologous bone grafting material and platelet-rich fibrin were mixed for bone grafting at the two implant sites. Provisional and permanent restorations were completed with digital technology at 5 months and 8 months after the first stage of surgery, respectively. Postoperative CBCT showed that the implants penetrated through the crown, apical cementum, dentin, and pulp of the impacted teeth. No pain or other complications were found during the follow-up visit. There were no clinical symptoms at the 18-month follow-up visit. CBCT images showed that the bone density around the implants had increased and the lamina dura had formed. In this case, immediate implantation through the impacted teeth in the aesthetic area was realized with the digital assistance, providing a new clinical idea for the selection of treatment options for impacted teeth and increased clinical data for other healing forms of implants besides osseointegration. However, the clinical effect of this kind of operation still needs long-term follow-up observation. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods This study included 39 patients with alveolar bone defects who attended the Implant Department of the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2018 to January 2022. According to bone grafting methods, they were divided into 3D-PITM+GBR group (19 patients) and Onlay group (20 patients). Preoperatively, Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of the patients were imported into Mimics Research and 3-Matic Software for 3D reconstruction and digital design. 3D-PITM was fabricated by CAD/ selective laser melting (SLM) technology. Intraoperatively, bone augmentation surgery was completed with fixed 3D-PITM or autologous bone block. CBCT imaging data were collected preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, 6~9 months postoperatively and after implant placement. Based on the digital radiographic data, the gained bone height on the implant axis and the gained bone width at 0 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm under the implant platform were measured. Results The 3D-PITM+GBR group had higher vertical bone increments [2.68 mm (0.45,4.23), 2.27 mm (0.49,3.27)] than onlay group [1.60 mm (0.33,1.62), 1.74 mm (0.53,1.60)] before/after bone grafting and before/after implant placement respectively. The 3D-PITM+GBR group had higher mean bone width increments at 0 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm below the alveolar ridge before and after bone grafting [(1.97±0.97) mm, (2.59±1.22) mm, (2.94±1.50) mm)] than that of onlay group [(1.06±0.99) mm, (1.45±1.25) mm, (2.32± 1.23) mm]. In the 3D-PITM+GBR group, the mean bone width increments at 0 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm below the implant platform before and after implantation [(2.34±1.09) mm, (2.53±1.48) mm, (2.85±2.20) mm)] were lower than those of onlay group [(2.51±1.34) mm, (3.04±1.73) mm, (3.38±1.94) mm]. The 3D-PITM+GBR group had higher osteogenesis rates in both horizontal and vertical directions (66.8%, 68.8%) than the Onlay group (64.6%, 62.6%).3D-PITM for reconstruction of complex alveolar bone defects was able to significantly increase the height and width of alveolar bone reconstruction compared with onlay block autogenous bone grafting, but the implant exposure rate (21%) was still higher than that of the onlay group (5%). Conclusion 3D-PITM+GBR technique can be used instead of block autogenous bone grafting for reconstruction of complex alveolar bone defects, obtaining ideal bone augmentation results and stable bone contours, but titanium mesh exposure is still a common complication in its application.

Non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment have both been used in clinical practice, but there is no gold standard protocol for implant decontamination. Therefore, it is of great significance to compare the characteristics of implants with and without peri-implantitis to understand the decontamination strategy for infected implant surfaces, which can provide a reference for clinicians in the decision-making when managing peri-implantitis.

Influence of maxillary sinus anatomical characteristics on the operation of internal sinus floor elevation Luo Zixin, Hu Dandan, Geng Wei Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 133-137.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.007 Abstract （226）      PDF （1341KB）（321）       Knowledge map    Save Maxillary sinus floor elevation is one of the main methods to increase the vertical bone volume for implants in the maxillary posterior region. According to the surgical approach, it can be divided into two surgical procedures: external sinus floor elevation and internal sinus floor elevation. The latter has the advantages of safety, minimally invasiveness, and economy compared with the former. The anatomical morphology of the maxillary sinus is one of the important factors affecting the operation of maxillary sinus floor elevation. This article reviews and analyzes the main anatomical factors such as the morphology of the maxillary sinus floor, the residual bone height, the maxillary sinus septum, and the Schneiderian membrane, in order to help the application of internal sinus floor elevation in clinical work.

Meta-analysis of the accuracy of dental implant robots in preclinical and clinical studies Wang Yiming, Li Xinru, Teng Weiwei, Ma Junchi, Zhou Libo Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (4): 362-370.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.08.012 Abstract （213）      PDF （2393KB）（252）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To systematically evaluate the accuracy of dental implant surgery assisted by a dental implant robot system in both preclinical and clinical studies. Methods Studies of dental implant robots were searched on online platforms like PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, CQVIP, and Wanfang data from the establishment of the database to August 2023. The studies included preclinical (model and animal experiments) and clinical research. The main outcome measures were three-dimensional deviations between the targeted position and the implanted position, including the coronal deviation, apical deviation, and angular deviation of implants. Stata 14.0 and RevMan software were used for meta-analysis of the data. Subgroup analysis was used to compare errors in four aspects: different study designs and subjects, preparation of implant cavities versus insertion of implants, dentition condition, and specific anatomical structures. Results Finally, 23 studies (18 preclinical studies and 5 clinical studies) from 20 papers were included, comprising a total of 840 implant sites. The results of the meta-analysis showed that in the preclinical study of dental implant robot-assisted implantation, the coronal deviation, apical deviation, and angular deviation were 0.60 mm (95% CI: 0.51~0.70, I2=0.0%), 0.73 mm (95% CI: 0.62~0.84, I2=24.9%), and 1.25°(95% CI: 1.02~1.48, I2 = 47.9%), respectively. In clinical studies, the coronal deviation, apical deviation, and angular deviation were 0.62 mm (95% CI: 0.39~0.86, I2=0.0%), 0.63 mm (95% CI: 0.39~0.87, I2=0%) and 1.23°(95% CI: 0.71~1.76, I2=15.9%), respectively. Conclusion There was no statistical difference in the coronal deviation, apical deviation, and angular deviation of dental implant surgery assisted by the dental implant robot system in preclinical and clinical studies, providing a reference for subsequent experiments and clinical applications.

Biological complications of butt-joint dental implants: a retrospective case analysis Chen Zhenqi, Yan Qi, Chen Yan, Shi Bin Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (4): 352-357.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.08.010 Abstract （210）      PDF （1580KB）（178）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To retrospectively analyze cases of biological complications of the butt-joint dental implant system (Zimmer, America) and explore relevant risk factors. Methods Cases of biological complications occurring with butt-joint implant systems (Zimmer) at the Department of Dental Implantology, Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University from 2012 to 2022 were analyzed. Results A total of 65 implants were identified to have biological complications, with 1 624 implants being reviewed overall. Six implants developed peri-implantitis, while 59 implants developed peri-implant mucositis. The average patient age was (56.20±11.46) years, and the mean loading time was (4.06±2.36) years. Conclusion The maxillary and molar regions are common sites for biological complications associated with butt-joint dental implants. Special attention should be paid to the occlusal design of distal free-end implant restorations to avoid the adverse effects of occlusal overload. Although the "cold welding" effect is advantageous in reducing the impact of microleakage, it increases the risk of mechanical complications. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

A systematic literature review on the implant survival rate for congenitally missing teeth Zhao Yu, Zan Bingxin, Dai Qinggang Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (3): 242-251.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.06.009 Abstract （208）      PDF （1424KB）（255）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To review the relevant literature from the last decade reporting on the outcomes of congenitally edentulous patients after implant prosthetic restoration, and to synthesize the implant survival rates from different perspectives to provide information for clinical decision-making. Methods A search using the combination ("hypodontia" OR "oligodontia" OR "anodontia" OR "tooth agenesis" OR "congenitally missing teeth") AND "dental implant*" was used in databases such as PubMed, with a time frame from February 2014 to February 2024. The literature was screened according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the bibliographies of the selected research articles were manually searched. Results A total of 34 prospective/retrospective studies and some case reports on implant restorations in congenitally edentulous patients were finally included. It was found that the overall implant survival rate in these patients was high, with an average of 96.53%, depending on individual patient factors and treatment techniques. Congenital edentulism was categorized into simple congenital edentulism and syndromic congenital edentulism, with survival rates of 97.32% and 95.54%, respectively, based on the relationship with systemic diseases. There were slight differences in implant survival rates between different age groups, with 93.82% for patients aged 17 years and younger, and 96.83% for adult patients aged 18 years and older. The maxillary lateral incisors, with a high rate of congenital defects involving the anterior esthetic zone, had an ideal implant survival rate (98.48%). The implant survival rate for congenitally edentulous patients combined with bone augmentation techniques was 96.19%. The survival rates for zygomatic implants and small-diameter implants (or mini-implants) were 98.18% and 97.18%, respectively. Conclusion Implant surgery is a better solution to restoring oral function in congenitally edentulous patients. However, it still needs to be analyzed according to the patient's situation to improve the implant survival rates and the success of implant restoration. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Simultaneous management of maxillary sinus cysts during sinus floor elevation Bao Yuejie, Zhan Pingping, Lin Zhihao, He Gang Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (6): 543-548.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.12.013 Abstract （207）      PDF （2026KB）（180）       Knowledge map    Save This article introduces a surgical approach for the simultaneous management of maxillary sinus cysts and sinus floor elevation using the double-window technique. The first lateral window is created to elevate the Schneiderian membrane and establish space for bone augmentation. Once the membrane is fully elevated and remains intact, a second small lateral window is created above the first to remove the cyst. The two windows are separated to prevent contamination of the graft material by the cystic contents. Additionally, a conservative surgical approach for the palliative treatment of sinus cysts is presented. Three representative cases are described to demonstrate specific techniques and surgical methods. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The influence of bioabsorbable collagen membrane fixation protocols on horizontal ridge augmentation in the maxillary anterior region Zhang Shuo, Liu Chang, Xiao Hanyu, Zhang Weifeng, Deng Huanze, Zhang Jian Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (5): 420-428.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.10.005 Abstract （206）      PDF （2202KB）（224）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To evaluate the influence of bioabsorbable collagen membrane fixation protocols on horizontal ridge augmentation in the maxillary anterior region. Methods A total of 36 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. One implant was placed in the maxillary anterior region, and simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgery was performed. Participants were divided into 3 groups based on different bioabsorbable collagen membrane fixation protocols. Group 1: fixation with titanium pins; Group 2: fixation with absorbable sutures; Group 3: fixation with titanium pins and absorbable sutures. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed immediately after surgery (T1) and at six months post-surgery (T2), respectively. The horizontal bone width of the augmented region was analyzed at the implant shoulder (H 0) and 2, 4, 6 mm apical to the implant shoulder (H 2, H 4, H 6). Changes in labial bone width during bone healing were calculated as absolute values (mm) and relative values (%). The incidence of postoperative complications was recorded. Results After six months of bone healing, all groups showed significant bone loss at H 0-H 6 compared to immediate post-surgery results ( P<0.05). At H 2, horizontal bone loss in Group 1 was significantly less than in Group 2 ( P<0.05). Group 3 exhibited significantly less horizontal bone loss compared to Group 1 at H 0 ( P<0.05), and Group 3 showed significantly less bone loss than Group 2 at H 0-H 4 ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of hematoma, wound bleeding, wound dehiscence, or infection among the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion When implant placement with simultaneous horizontal ridge augmentation was performed in the maxillary anterior region, membrane fixation with titanium pins demonstrated superior results of the augmented region near the implant shoulder compared to fixation with absorbable sutures. However, the combined use of pins and absorbable sutures contributed to achieving better bone augmentation results compared to using either method alone. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Application of bone blocks harvested from the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using the tenting technique Zhou Danhong, Hu Ling, Zhou Guodong, Qiu Yuesheng, Jiang Zhiwei, Yang Guoli Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (5): 407-412.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.10.003 Abstract （198）      PDF （1644KB）（186）       Knowledge map    Save Objective To explore the clinical effect of bone blocks harvested from the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus on horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using the tenting technique. Methods This study reviewed patients with dental defects who underwent horizontal tenting technique in the maxillary posterior region using bone blocks harvested from the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus at the Stomatology Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from November 2018 to March 2023. The width of the alveolar ridge in the grafted area was compared using cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) images taken preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and 6 months postoperatively. Patients were also followed up clinically. Results There was a statistically significant increase in bone width at 0mm and 3mm from the top of the alveolar ridge in the immediate postoperative period compared to the preoperative period ( P<0.05). 6 months postoperatively, the increase in horizontal bone width at the top of the alveolar ridge was (3.60±2.29) mm compared to preoperative measurements ( P>0.05). The increase in horizontal bone width at 3 mm from the top of the alveolar ridge was (2.85±1.54) mm compared to preoperative measurements, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). And compared to the immediate postoperative period, the bone augmentation at different distances from the top of the alveolar ridge remained basically stable 6 months postoperatively, with no significant bone resorption observed ( P>0.05). Conclusion Bone blocks harvested from the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus show effective bone augmentation and favorable clinical outcomes when used in the horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using the tenting technique. It provides a new surgical method for cases with insufficient alveolar ridge width in the maxillary posterior region, especially when combined with severe bone height deficiency requiring lateral window technique for sinus floor elevation.
