Objective: Quantitatively assess bone density in maxillary sinus lifting with ABB (Bio-Oss®), using Cone-Beam computed tomography 6 months after surgery. Material and methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted between February 2018 and February 2019 on 33 Cone-Beam tomographic studies of 29 adult patients of both genders, with maxillary sinus fl oor lift, using Bio-Oss® small particles ( 0.25-1um), large particles (1-2um) or a 50-50 % mix of both, always using Bio-Gide® membranes, in order to measure bone density through Hounsfi eld Units (UH) after 6 months of healing. Results:The average density of the grafted sinuses was 586 ± 238 HU, corresponding to Type II-III bone. Gender (p = 0.079) and Residual bone (p = 0.681) showed no signifi cant differences, while Age (p = 0.015) and Particles Size (p = 0.002; p <0.05), were signifi cant. The highest tomographic density was obtained in patients older than 65 years; and in mixed particles size grafts. Conclusion:The bone density obtained after maxillary sinus lifting with Bio-Oss shows quantitative values similar to those of type II-III bone, providing a high degree of predictability for implant placement 6 months after the intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
