[Review of clinical effects of disk-up sinus reamer(DSR)-based internal sinus floor elevation with implantation in 10 years].

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To analyze the bone remodeling around the implant 10 years after disk-up sinus reamer(DSR)-based internal sinus floor elevation with implantation and to investigate the influence of different factors on implant retention. METHODS: The clinical and imaging data of patients undergoing DSR-based sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implantation were collected from the Department of Dental Implantology, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2008 to December 2011. Panoramic film and CBCT were used to measure the changes of bone mass around implant in different periods. Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests were used to analyze the effects of different factors on implant retention with SPSS 26.0 software package. RESULTS: The study included 98 patients with a total of 128 implants. During the follow-up of 0-168 months, 7 implants failed, and the remaining formed good osseointegration and functioned, with a 10-year cumulative retention rate of 94.53%. The height of bone formation was (0.29±0.15) mm at the top and (2.74±0.66) mm in the sinus of 75 implant sites with complete imaging data obtained ten years after surgery. Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests showed that 8 factors including initial bone height, elevated bone height, mucosal perforation, implant length, implant torsion, diabetes, smoking and periodontitis had significant effects on implant retention. CONCLUSIONS: The DSR-based internal sinus floor elevation with implantation is a reliable and stable bone augmentation operation for vertical bone defect in maxillary posterior region, with a 10-year cumulative retention rate of no less than 94%. Initial bone height, elevated bone height, mucosal perforation, implant length, implant torsion, diabetes, smoking and periodontitis are the important factors affecting the long-term retention rate of implants.
