    Abstract (843)      PDF (2026KB)(5247)       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.

    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 (1013)      PDF (1604KB)(4022)       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.

    In this paper, a patient with severe alveolar bone atrophy in the maxillary posterior region, a giant pneumatized maxillary sinus, and insufficient restoration space underwent zygomatic implantation with immediate loading. Following extraction of the remaining maxillary teeth and occlusal space elevation by 6 mm using a temporary denture, bilateral maxillary zygomatic and inclined implants were placed. Immediate loading was completed 3 days after implant placement, and final restoration was achieved after 6 months. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the patient’s preoperative clinical data, the authors eliminated several alternative surgical approaches and ultimately selected the bilateral zygomatic implantation protocol, which successfully restored the patient's maxillary edentulism. By analyzing this case, the authors synthesized treatment principles and clinical experiences for the diagnosis and management of similar cases, providing valuable insights for addressing comparable implant scenarios.

    Abstract (612)      PDF (1718KB)(3514)       Save
    In the process of long-term functional use of implant-supported dentures, the occurrence of peri-implant biological complications is often difficult to avoid due to various factors such as the patient's overall health condition, surgical procedures, implant restorations, and prosthetic techniques. Additionally, during the long-term clinical follow-up of patients with aesthetic zone implant restorations, it is often observed that the incisal edge of implant restoration is positioned lower towards the root compared to the contralateral natural tooth, indicating implant infraposition. This article reports a case of aesthetic zone implant peri-implantitis combined with implant infraposition treated using platform techniques. In this case, non-surgical treatment was used to control inflammation in the surgical area before the surgery, and connective tissue platform techniques were employed during the surgery to increase soft tissue volume around the implant. Temporary restoration was performed after 3 months postoperatively, followed by the final restoration after 6 months. Short-term treatment results showed that for cases of aesthetic zone implant peri-implantitis combined with implant infraposition, the use of connective tissue platform techniques can effectively achieve soft tissue reconstruction in the surgical area and reduce aesthetic risks.

    Maxillary bone defects severely compromise patients’ abilities to chew, speak, and swallow, and also significantly affect facial aesthetics. Traditional prosthetic rehabilitation and free flap reconstruction present inherent limitations in clinical practice. Zygomatic implant technology, by anchoring implants to the zygomatic bone, offers a novel approach for the functional and structural rehabilitation of maxillary defects. However, this technique involves complex craniofacial anatomical structures and demands high surgical precision and intraoperative stability. The clinical success of zygomatic implants largely depends on accurate preoperative planning and precise surgical execution. In recent years, the integration of digital technologies has greatly enhanced the accuracy and predictability of zygomatic implant surgery. This article systematically reviews the digital surgical workflow for managing maxillary defects with zygomatic implants, including multimodal imaging data acquisition and registration, prosthesis-driven implant planning, and the application of dynamic navigation systems and augmented reality technologies. Additionally, representative clinical cases are presented to illustrate the practical value of these digital technologies in zygomatic implant surgery for maxillary reconstruction. Looking ahead, with the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence and robotic-assisted surgical technologies, the degree of automation and intelligence in zygomatic implant procedures is expected to improve further, thereby promoting more personalized and precise solutions for maxillary defect rehabilitation.

    Abstract (1818)      PDF (1768KB)(2728)       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.

    Abstract (456)      PDF (1592KB)(2650)       Save
    Objective To evaluate the effect of a KABP-based nursing model combined with systematic oral health education on postoperative care of dental implants in patients with periodontal disease. Methods A total of 96 patients who underwent oral implant restoration at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to June 2022 were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned to a control group (n=48) and an intervention group (n=48) using a random number table. The control group received systematic oral health education, while the intervention group received a KABP-based educational intervention. Outcome measures included peri-implan indices, cytokine levels (IL-8, IL-1β, TNF-α), disease knowledge awareness, compliance with professional oral maintenance, incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, and patient satisfaction. Results Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in peri-implant indices (BI, PLI, PD), cytokine levels (IL-8, IL-1β, TNF-α), or disease knowledge awareness between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the peri-implant indices and cytokine levels were significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.05), while disease knowledge awareness and compliance with professional oral maintenance were significantly higher (P<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis in the intervention group was lower than in the control group (P<0.05), and patient satisfaction with the restoration was higher in the intervention group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of a KABP-based nursing model combined with systematic oral health education can effectively improve peri-implant indices, reduce inflammatory cytokine levels, enhance disease knowledge awareness, improve compliance with professional oral maintenance, and increase patient satisfaction following dental implant therapy in patients with periodontal disease. Furthermore, it can decrease the incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.

    Strategies for implant surface decontamination in therapy of peri-implantitis
    Yang Ting, Hu Wenjie
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (4): 385-390.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.08.015
    Abstract (673)      PDF (1381KB)(2540)       Save
    Peri-implantitis is a biofilm-mediated pathological condition of peri-implant tissue, characterized by inflammation in peri-implant mucosa accompanied by progressive loss of supporting bone around dental implants. It is the main reason that affects the long-term result of dental implant restoration, which might eventually lead to implant failure. Implant surface decontamination is the key to the management of peri-implantitis. 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.

    Abstract (498)      PDF (1682KB)(2536)       Save
    Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease of the peri-implant soft and hard tissues, primarily caused by plaque biofilms and influenced by multiple factors. This article presents the comprehensive sequential treatment process and follow-up results of a patient with peri-implantitis and discusses the optimal treatment approach. In this case, the implant prosthesis was first removed for non-surgical treatment to preliminarily control the infection, followed by bone regenerative surgery to reconstruct peri-implant bone tissue. Subsequently, free gingival grafting was performed to improve peri-implant soft tissue conditions, and the prosthesis morphology was adjusted and reinserted. Throughout the treatment and follow-up periods, both self-maintenance and professional maintenance were emphasized. After a 2-year follow-up, the peri-implant gingival redness, swelling, and suppuration subsided, the deep periodontal pockets resolved, and alveolar bone regeneration was achieved and maintained, resulting in a satisfactory therapeutic outcome.

    Abstract (647)      PDF (1786KB)(2484)       Save
    Objective This study investigates the effect of different sandblasting parameters on the surface roughness of medical-grade Grade 4 pure titanium, aiming to provide reference data for optimizing SLA(sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched) surface characteristics. Methods Alumina particles were used in an orthogonal experimental design to analyze the effects of particle size, pressure, distance, and time on the surface roughness average (Ra) of Grade 4 pure titanium. Range analysis and variance analysis were performed to evaluate the impact of each parameter. Results The surface roughness with Ra value of 1.083~2.494 μm can be obtained within the range of factor levels in this experiment. The lowest surface roughness (Group A) was achieved with 100-mesh particles, 0.2 MPa pressure, a distance of 50 mm, and a duration of 60 seconds. The highest surface roughness (Group B) was observed with 60-mesh particles, 0.4 MPa pressure, a distance of 100 mm, and a duration of 15 seconds. Conclusion Within the range of parameter levels examined in this study, surface roughness decreased with increasing particles size and blasting time, while it increased with higher pressure and longer blasting distance.

    Zhao Yu, Zan Bingxin, Dai Qinggang
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (3): 242-251.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.06.009
    Abstract (814)      PDF (1424KB)(2453)       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.

    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 (1151)      PDF (2405KB)(2428)       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.

    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 178-183.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.013
    Abstract (601)      PDF (1391KB)(2341)       Save
    Objective To analyze and validate the feasibility of an artificial intelligence software, ITK-SNAP, in identifying the distance between mandibular molars and the inferior alveolar nerve canal. Methods The cone-beam CT (CBCT) image data of 100 college students were selected, and 30 cases were randomly selected as the experimental group, and the remaining 70 cases were used as the validation group together with the 30 cases in the experimental group. The distances from the apices of the mandibular molar roots and the tops of the alveolar septa to the inferior alveolar nerve canals were measured using CBCT image analysis software and ITK-SNAP, respectively. Results The differences in the distances between mandibular molars and the inferior alveolar nerve canals measured by CBCT and ITK-SNAP software were not statistically significant in intergroup comparisons (P>0.05), and had a high correlation with r>0 (correlation coefficients r were all greater than 0.9); in both males and females, the distances from the mesial apices, the distal apices, and the tops of the alveolar septa to the upper walls of the inferior alveolar nerve canals of the mandibular first molars were significantly greater than those of the second molars (P<0.05), and the distances from each point of the mandibular first molars to the upper walls of the inferior alveolar nerve canals were significantly greater than those of the second molars in both the right and left sides (P<0.05). Conclusion The artificial intelligence software ITK-SNAP for measuring the distance between mandibular molars and the mandibular canal is feasible, which provides a reference for the preoperative planning of immediate implant placement in the mandibular molar region.

    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2025, 30 (4): 405-411.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2025.08.013
    Abstract (582)      PDF (1333KB)(2333)       Save
    Osseointegration of implants is defined as the direct structural and functional connection between a loaded implant and the surrounding ordered bone tissue. This process is complex, involving the interactions among multiple cell types. Osteoblasts adhere to, proliferate on, and differentiate at the implant surface, and through a sequence of biological processes, they facilitate the integration of the implant with the adjacent bone tissue—an event pivotal to osseointegration. Robust osseointegration enhances implant stability, reduces the risk of infection, and thereby increases the success rate of restoration and improving patients’ quality of life. However, studies indicate that diabetes can impede the osseointegration process and lower the implant success rate. To enhance osseointegration in diabetic patients, researchers have developed a variety of novel materials and techniques, including continuous antibacterial materials, biological factor sustained-release materials and surface modification techniques. Among these, implant surface treatment has attracted significant attention due to its ability to improve osseointegration performance while enhancing biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. This article reviews the principles and efficacy of various implant surface treatment methods, such as mechanical treatments, coating technologies, and biomaterial scaffolds.

    Liang Yixin, Qu Zhe
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2025, 30 (2): 111-117.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2025.04.004
    Abstract (827)      PDF (1622KB)(2304)       Save
    The high concentrations of growth factors within platelets have been proven to promote cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis during the regeneration process. Multiple efforts have been exerted to blend them with bone substitute materials, to fabricate "sticky bone" for easier manipulation by surgeons. While autologous and allogeneic bone grafts are limited by donor site availability and biocompatibility issues, synthetic bone grafts exhibit significant advantages in terms of biocompatibility. The integration of growth factors into these porous synthetic grafts can effectively stimulate cell growth and differentiation, thereby enhancing osteogenic potential. This paper reviews the research and advancements in sticky bone for bone regeneration, elaborating on the fabrication and characterization of sticky bone materials. Moreover, it also highlights the promising outcomes and benefits of sticky bone in bone defect regeneration, substantiated by clinical data from both domestic and international studies.

    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 169-177.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.012
    Abstract (1817)      PDF (1679KB)(2242)       Save
    Objective A clinical retrospective study was proposed to compare the bone augmentation effect of GBR based on 3D printing individualized titanium mesh (3D-PITM) with onlay block autogenous bone grafting in the reconstruction of complex alveolar bone defects. 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.
