Comparison of sinusitis rate after sinus lift procedure and zygomatic implant surgery: a meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the reported sinusitis occurrence after the sinus lift procedure and zygomatic implant placement. METHODS: This meta-analysis has been registered at PROSPERO. Studies were searched on six databases. Two authors screened titles and abstracts and fully analyzed the studies against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The RoB 2.0 and the ROBINS-I tools were used to assess the quality and risk of bias of the included studies. The random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis. The prevalence of sinusitis was calculated based on the total of patients. Subgroup analysis was performed by sinus lift or zygomatic implant surgery technique. RESULTS: The search identified 2419 references. After applying the inclusion criteria, 18 sinus lift and 9 zygomatic implant placement studies were considered eligible. The pooled prevalence of sinusitis after sinus lift procedure was 1.11% (95% CI 0.30-2.28). The prevalence after zygomatic implant placement was 3.76% (95% CI 0.12-10.29). In the subgroup analysis, the lateral window approach showed a prevalence of sinusitis of 1.35% (95% CI 0.34-2.8), the transcrestal technique of 0.00% (95% CI 0.00-3.18), and the SALSA technique of 1.20% (95% CI 0.00-5.10). Regarding the techniques for zygomatic implant placement, the sinus slot technique showed a prevalence of 21.62% (95% CI 9.62-36.52) and the intrasinus technique of 4.36% (95% CI 0.33-11.08), and the prevalence after the extrasinus technique was 0.00% (95% CI 0.00-1.22). CONCLUSION: The sinusitis occurrence rate was higher after zygomatic implant placement than after sinus lift procedure and this occurrence was different depending on the used technique.

Complicaciones quirúrgicas de la elevación de seno maxilar en implantología / Surgical Complications Associated to Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation in Implantology

RESUMEN La elevación de piso de seno maxilar ha sido sumamente documentada en implantología como una técnica segura y predecible en el procedimiento de ganancia vertical ósea, en el maxilar posterior atrófico. Sin embargo, conjuntamente se han reportado complicaciones en este procedimiento, las cuales podrían poner en peligro los resultados de la regeneración, y por consiguiente la colocación del implante. El propósito de esta revisión de literatura es exponer y analizar diferentes complicaciones que pueden presentarse en la elevación de piso de seno maxilar.

ABSTRACT Maxillary sinus floor elevation has been extensively documented as a safe and predictable procedure for gaining vertical bone height in the atrophic posterior maxilla. Even though, complications have been reported, which can potentially jeopardize the outcome of the regeneration and implant therapy. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to present, debate and analyze the different complications that can occur during a sinus floor elevation.

Manejo multidisciplinario de rinosinusitis bacteriana aguda posterior a elevación de seno maxilar: reporte de caso rehabilitado a tres años de seguimiento / Multidisciplinary management of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis after maxillary sinus lift: three years follow-up: case report

La cirugía de elevación de seno maxilar se considera como la técnica de aumento óseo más predecible. Sin embargo, no está exenta de complicaciones las cuales deben ser manejadas adecuadamente. Se presenta un caso clínico rehabilitado, con un seguimiento de 3 años, en el cual se realizó un manejo multidisciplinario y resolutivo de complicaciones asociadas a la técnica quirúrgica de elevación de membrana sinusal vía ventana lateral. Frente a una infección postoperatoria, como la presentada en el caso, hay que considerar iniciar un tratamiento antibiótico en el momento adecuado para impedir el agravamiento del cuadro clínico o un cambio de esquema en caso de resistencia antimicrobiana.

Maxillary sinus lift surgery is considered the most predictable bone augmentation technique. However, this procedure is not without complications, which must be handled properly. We present a rehabilitated clinical case, with a 3-year follow-up, in which a multidisciplinary and resolutive management of complications associated with the surgical technique of sinus lift procedure, using lateral window approach, was performed. In case of postoperative infection, such as the one presented in this report, it is necessary to consider starting an antibiotic treatment at the adequate moment to prevent the aggravation of the illness or change the pharmacological treatment in case of antimicrobial resistance.

Short implants versus longer implants with maxillary sinus lift. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

This study compared the survival rate of dental implants, amount of marginal bone loss, and rates of complications (biological and prosthetic) between short implants and long implants placed after maxillary sinus augmentation. This systematic review has been registered at PROSPERO under the number (CRD42017073929). Two reviewers searched the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, and Cochrane Library databases. Eligibility criteria included randomized controlled trials, comparisons between short implants and long implants placed after maxillary sinus augmentation in the same study, and follow-up for >6 months. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials was used to assess the quality and risk of bias of the included studies. The search identified 1366 references. After applying the inclusion criteria, 11 trials including 420 patients who received 911 dental implants were considered eligible. No significant difference was observed in the survival rate [p = 0.86; risk ratio (RR): 1.08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.46-2.52] or in the amount of marginal bone loss (p = 0.08; RR: -0.05; 95%CI: -0.10 to 0.01). However, higher rates of biological complications for long implants associated with maxillary sinus augmentation were observed (p < 0.00001; RR: 0.21; 95%CI: 0.10-0.41), whereas a higher prosthetic complication rate for short implants was noted (p = 0.010; RR: 3.15; 95%CI: 1.32-7.51). Short implant placement is an effective alternative because of fewer biological complications and similar survival and marginal bone loss than long implant placement with maxillary sinus augmentation. However, the risk of mechanical complications associated with the prostheses fitted on short implants should be considered.

Successful Use of Leukocyte Platelet-Rich Fibrin in the Healing of Sinus Membrane Perforation: A Case Report.

PURPOSE: The aim of this case report was to demonstrate the repair of a large sinus membrane perforation related to a sinus floor augmentation procedure, using leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), for subsequent rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patient presented the absence of teeth numbers 18, 17, and 16, associated with insufficient bone height because of the maxillary sinus pneumatization. A maxillary inlay bone graft was proposed, however, during the sinus floor augmentation procedure, a large portion of the sinus membrane was ruptured. To avoid interruption of the surgical procedure, membrane mending was proposed using L-PRF and collagen membranes. RESULTS: After 8 months, 2 external hexagon connection dental implants were placed in the 16 and 17 teeth regions, and a screw-retained implant-supported prosthesis was installed. CONCLUSION: The use of L-PRF associated with collagen membrane was efficient for the sealing of the sinus membrane perforation and enabled bone formation for subsequent implant installation.

Lateral window sinus augmentation: complications and outcomes of 101 consecutive procedures.

PURPOSE: To report the complications experienced and the outcomes of simultaneous or staged dental implants placed during 101 consecutive sinus augmentation procedures through the lateral window approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-eight consecutive patients underwent a total of 101 sinus augmentations. Thirty-nine patients were operated on unilaterally and 29 bilaterally. A total of 141 implants were installed, 65 simultaneously and 76 in a second stage. RESULTS: In 13 of the 101 sinuses, the Schneiderian membrane was perforated. Three patients developed maxillary sinusitis. Two patients suffered perioperative hemorrhages. One patient had a wound dehiscence, and 3 patients developed graft infections. Of the 141 implants, 121 integrated and 14 failed. There was a statistical difference between the losses of implants placed simultaneously versus nonsimultaneously (P = 0.003). The overall postloading success rate for dental implants reached 90% after a follow-up period between 12 and 120 months. CONCLUSION: The lateral window approach is associated with a high rate of success. Yet, some complications can influence the outcome of clinical treatment. Simultaneous placement of implants during sinus augmentation significantly affects their chance of success.

Septum en seno maxilar: un estudio de 91 cirugías consecutivas de elevación de piso sinusal / Septum on maxillary sinus: a study in 91 consecutive surgeries of maxillary sinus floor elevation

La elevación de piso sinusal maxilar ha sido ampliamente discutida y presenta altas tasas de éxito. El objetivo de esta investigación fue establecer la prevalencia de septum intrasinusal presente en cirugías consecutivas de elevación de piso sinusal y establecer su relación con las perforaciones de membrana sinusal. Noventa y un cirugías fueron realizadas en pacientes que presentaban indicación para instalar implantes dentales en maxila posterior; fueron incluidos aquellos pacientes que presentaron documentos clínicos íntegros (ficha clínica, radiografías, entre otros) y que no presentasen contraindicación del procedimiento; las cirugías fueron realizadas con anestesia local o general y fueron rellenados con biomateriales o hueso autógeno. El septum fue identificado mediante la imagen panorámica preoperatoria y de forma clínica intraoperatoria, mientras que cualquier complicación fue estudiada y relacionada con la presencia de septum; el estudio estadístico se realizó a través de la prueba test de Fisher siendo reconocido el valor de p<0.05. Fueron operados 72 sujetos (53 mujeres y 19 hombres) con una edad promedio de 44,5 años; en el 74,7 por ciento no se observó ningún tipo de complicación, mientras que en el 18,7 por ciento de los casos se observó perforación de la membrana sinusal. Septum sinusal fue observado en el 17,6 por ciento de los casos operados (16 senos maxilares), presentando 12 septum en posición anterior y 4 en posición posterior. La presencia de septum tuvo relación estadísticamente significativa con la laceración de membrana sinusal (p<0,05). Finalmente, podemos señalar que la presencia de septum intrasinusal se observó en 17 por ciento de los casos y se relaciona directamente con complicaciones intraoperatorias como la perforación de membrana.

Sinus lift has been widely studied and is highly successful. The aim of this research was to establish the prevalence of intrasinusal septum in consecutive surgeries for maxillary sinus floor elevation and identify the relation with sinus membrane rupture. Ninety one surgeries were realized in patients with an indication for dental implant installation in the posterior maxilla; the patient with complete clinical and medical record (card, radiography, etc.) and without contraindications for the procedure was included in the study; the surgery was realized with local or general anesthesia and the material used for inlay graft was autogenous bone or biometarials. The septum was identified by panoramic image in the preoperatory and clinically at the time of surgery; any complication was studied and related to intrasinusal septum; the statistical study was carried out with Fisher test with p value <0.05. Surgery was performed on 72 subjects (53 female and 19 male) with a mean age of 44.5 years of age; in 74.7 percent of patients no complications were observed, while 18.7 percent presented sinusal membrane rupture. The septum was observed in 18.7 percent (16 maxillary sinus), showing 12 septum in anterior position and 4 in posterior position; the presence of septum was positively related to membrane rupture (p<0.05). Finally, we can state that the intrasinusal septum was observed in 17 percent and was related to intraoperatory complications as membrane rupture.
