The new bone formation in human maxillary sinuses using two bone substitutes with different resorption types associated or not with autogenous bone graft: a comparative histomorphometric, immunohistochemical and randomized clinical study

Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the new bone and connective tissue formation and the biomaterial remaining after maxillary sinus bone augmentation using 5 different bone substitutes. The osteocalcin immunolabeling was performed to demonstrate their calcification and the possibility of receiving dental implants. Methodology 40 patients underwent maxillary sinus bone augmentation and were divided in 5 groups: Group 1 with 8 maxillary sinuses were grafted with autogenous bone graft (AB); Group 2 with 8 maxillary sinuses grafted with bioactive glass (BG); Group 3 with 8 maxillary sinuses grafted with bioactive glass added to autogenous bone graft (BG + AB) 1:1; Group 4 with 8 maxillary sinuses grafted with Bio-Oss (BO) and Group 5 with 8 maxillary sinuses grafted with Bio-Oss added to autogenous bone graft (BO + AB) 1:1. Results In group AB, 37.8% of bone was formed in the pristine bone region, 38.1% in the intermediate and 44.5% in the apical region. In group BG, 43.6% was formed in the pristine bone, 37% in the intermediate and 49.3% in the apical region. In group BG + AB 1:1, 39.0% was formed in the pristine bone region, 34.8% in the intermediate and 36.8% in apical region. In group BO, 33.4% was formed in the pristine bone, 32.5% in the intermediate and 34.3% in the apical region. In group BO + AB 1:1, 32.8% was formed in the pristine bone, 36.1% in intermediate and 27.8% in the apical regions. The immunolabeling for osteocalcin showed an intensive staining for all groups, which could demonstrate the calcification of the bone formed. Conclusion This study showed that the groups evaluated formed a suitable lamellar bone in the maxillary sinus reconstruction after six months of bone healing, thus being indicated to receive dental implants.

Estudo clínico prospectivo, randomizado do tipo "Split mouth" do aumento ósseo em enxertos sinusais realizados com o fosfato de cálcio bifásicozado do tipo "Split mouth" do aumento ósseo em enxertos sinusais realizados com o fosfato de cálcio bifásico / Prospective, randomized "split mouth" clinical study of bone augmentation in sinus grafts performed with biphasic calcium phosphate

Objetivos: Avaliar e comparar o comportamento do Fosfato de Cálcio Bifásico (FCB) na forma granulada e em pasta enxertados em seios maxilares de humanos, através da análise histomorfometrica e imunoistoquímica. Metodologia: Este estudo é do tipo Split mouth com radomização controlada, em que 10 pacientes participaram do estudo, 10 seios maxilares foram enxertados com FCB na forma de pasta e 10 com FCB na forma de grânulos. Aos 6 meses após a enxertia, foi colhida a biópsia para as análises histomorfometrica e imunoistoquímica. O teste de normalidade mostrou resultados paramétricos para todas as análises, portanto foi aplicado o teste t. Resultados: A média de quantidade de tecido ósseo foi de 1923705,9 ± 364393 µm2 para o grupo Grânulos e 1532468,7 ± 334892 µm2 para o grupo Pasta (p=0,0223), a média da quantidade de biomaterial foi de 1468571 ± 230879 µm2 para o grupo Grânulos e 1658428 ± 122324 µm2 (38,60%) para o grupo Pasta (p=0,0338) e a média da quantidade de tecido mole foi de 897786 ± 270137,9 µm2 para o grupo Grânulos e 1099166,5 ± 221947,3 µm2 para o grupo Pasta (p=0,0852), as marcações para a osteocalcina foi intenso para ambos os grupos. Conclusão: O FCB em forma de pasta, assim como o FCB em grânulos, pode ser utilizado adequadamente como substituto ósseo para enxerto em seio maxilar de humanos(AU)

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the behavior of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) in granulated and paste form grafted on maxillary sinuses of humans, through histometric and immunohistochemical analysis. Metodology: This study is of the Split mouth type with controlled radomization, in which 10 patients participated in the study, 10 maxillary sinuses were grafted with BCP in the form of paste and 10 with BCP in the form of granules. At 6 months after grafting, a biopsy was taken for histometric and immunohistochemical analysis. The normality test showed parametric results for all analyzes, so the t test was applied. Results: The mean amount of bone tissue was 1923705.9 ± 364393 µm2 for the Granules group and 1532468.7 ± 334892 µm2 for the Pasta group (P = 0.0223), the average biomaterial amount was 1468571 ± 230879 µm2 for the Granules group and 1658428 ± 122324 µm2 (38.60%) for the Pasta group (P = 0.0338) and the average amount of soft tissue was 897786 ± 270137.9 µm2 for the Granules group and 1099166.5 ± 221947.3 µm2 for the Pasta group (P = 0.0852), the markings for osteocalcin were intense for both groups. Conclusion: BCP in paste form, like BCP in granules, can be used properly as a bone substitute for grafting in the maxillary sinus of humans(AU)

Bioactive glass added to autogenous bone graft in maxillary sinus augmentation: a prospective histomorphometric, immunohistochemical, and bone graft resorption assessment

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare the bone resorption rate, histomorphometry and immunohistochemical findings of bioactive glass (Biogran; Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) mixed with autogenous bone grafts (1:1) and autogenous bone graft isolate in maxillary sinus elevation surgery. Material and Methods A total of 9 maxillary sinuses were grafted with Biogran with autogenous bone graft (group 1) and 12 were mixed with autogenous bone graft (group 2). Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure the initial graft volume after 15 days (T1), and 6 months later, another CBCT scan was performed to evaluate the final graft volume (T2) and determine the graft resorption rate. The resorption outcomes were 37.9%±18.9% in group 1 and 45.7%±18.5% in group 2 (P=0.82). After 6 months, biopsies were obtained concurrent with the placement of dental implants; these implants were subjected to histomorphometric analysis and immunohistochemical analysis for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Results The average bone formation in group 1 was 36.6%±12.9 in the pristine bone region, 33.2%±13.3 in the intermediate region, and 45.8%±13.8 in the apical region; in group 2, the values were 34.4%±14.4, 35.0%±13.9, and 42.0%±16.6 of new bone formation in the pristine bone, intermediate, and apical regions, respectively. Immunostaining for TRAP showed poor clastic activity in both groups, which can indicate that those were in the remodeling phase. Conclusions The similarity between the groups in the formation and maintenance of the graft volume after 6 months suggests that the bioactive glass mixed with autogenous bone (1:1) can be used safely as a bone substitute for the maxillary sinus lift.
