Q

How do u decide on 1-stage or 2-stage

A

Determine if conditions are favorable or unfavorable
In favourable conditions (good quality of bone and minimal occlusal forces), 1-stage approaches can be performed with ≥ 5mm bone height and 2-stage approach should be used with < 5mm bone height
In unfavourable conditions, 1-stage approaches can be performed with ≥ 8mm bone height and 2-stage approach should be used with < 8mm bone height

Q

How come you don’t need a graft material?

A

Lundgren 2004 described how you can get bone formation if there is space maintenance with the tenting effect of the implant (or if the membrane is sutured) as the space is filled with blood clot and then colonized by osteoblasts from the adjacent bony walls of the maxillary sinus and from the sinus membrane.

26
Q

What is the effect of implant size and length on outcomes

A

Del Fabbro 2012: no difference in implant survival with implant length

Pjetursson 2009: with osteotome technique, there is a difference in survival:
>12mm – 100%
10 – 99%
8mm – 99%
6mm – 48%

Meta analysis shows NSSD in implant survival for narrow implants compared to conventional implants (Klein 2009)

27
Q

How much bone gain do you get

A

Urban 2017: 5mm vertical

28
Q

Who first described the sinus lift technique

A

-Tatum first suggested the indirect approach, then Summers did it

29
Q

What about the use of bone growth factors?

A

L-PRF as the sole graft material showed bone formation 3mm vertical (Molemans 2019)
Suarez-Lopez del Amo 2022:
There was one study that reported L-PRF was associated with statistically significant 14% increase in bone formation and 10% decrease in residual bone graft compared to controls

30
Q

Side effect of osteotome technique

A

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

31
Q

Occlusion and angled screw access?

A

Swamidass 2021:
Compared conventional and ASA, they both performed well after cyclic loading with comparable torque values

Di Fiore 2023:
-ASA did NOT affect crestal bone loss or mechanical complications

32
Q

Would you splint your implants

A

De Souza Batista 2019:
-higher implant survival with splinted, but no difference in MBL or prosthetic complications
Might be a good option if there are high masticatory forces

33
Q

Short implants versus long implants?

A

Short implants 8.5mm or less have a high survival rate of 94%, higher failure rate in smooth vs rough implants (Testori; Kotsovillis)

Extra short implants 6mm or less have high survival rate of 97% for both short and long >10mm implants. No difference in MBL (Ravida 2019)

Cruz 2018: short implants versus long implants with sinus lifts; found NSSD in survival or MBL; higher biological complications for long implants (perforations, sinus infections, pain, swelling) and prosthetic complications for short implants (screw fractures, ceramic fractures, abutment fractures, screw loosening)

34
Q

What is the effect of penetrating the implant into the sinus cavity

A

Boyne 1993:
2-3mm in the sinus is ok and you get spontaneous bone formation around the apex
If you have 5mm or more penetration you only get partial bone growth (50%)

Ragucci 2019: if it was more or less than 4mm, implant survival rates were high and both groups had complications including nosebleeds and thickening of membrane.

Zhong 2013: dog study that found if you have 2mm or less penetration you get membrane coverage and bone formation but if you have more than 3mm there isn’t. Again, both groups had NSSD in implant osseointegration and sinus health.

35
Q

Where do you place implants from each other and from teeth? What happens if they are too close together

A

(Tarnow et al., 2000)
* Implants placed greater than 3mm apart had 0.45mm crestal bone loss while implants placed less than 3mm apart had twice as much crestal bone loss of 1.04mm
* increased crestal bone loss → decreases the likelihood of papilla fill

Based on these findings, the distance between two adjacent implants should be 3.0mm and the distance between a tooth and implant should be 1.5mm

(Vela et al., 2012)
Authors reported that platform switched implants can be placed 1mm away from adjacent teeth if required

(Rivara et al., 2020)
The authors suggest that platform switched implants can be placed 2mm away from adjacent implants if required

36
Q

Papilla fill

A

Kan 2003: Papilla fill is related to the interproximal bone level next to the adjacent teeth

Souza 2019: papilla fill is related to morphology of the embrasure, better papilla fill with narrow and short interproximal spaces

37
Q

How much bone do you need apical to the implant

A

2-3mm, so do 4mm overfill
Rosen 1999: you need 50% of the implant in bone and at least 4mm of the implant in bone

38
Q

How much bone height gain do you get with the indirect approach

A

3-4mm according to the Summers technique with osteotomes

39
Q

What is the incidence of perforation

A

Tan et al 2008 for transcrestal technique – 0-21.4% mean of 3.8% (many visual limitations for detecting)

40
Q

How will you check for perforation

A

-feel with depth gauge
-check for bubbles
-radiographically
-breathing and fluid movement
Ask if liquid in throat

41
Q

Risk factors for perforation

A

-thickness of membrane (<1mm or >2mm) ideally between 1-1.5mm
-steep sinus wall
-septa
-pathology
-smoking

42
Q

management of infection

A

clavulin, nasal saline rinses, ent referral

43
Q

Adv and disadv septa?

A

Most common in the 2nd PM to 1st M region
Adv: more bone for osteogenesis, wall for holding bone material, provides stability for implant
Dis: higher prob of perforation, osteotome is difficult, makes lateral window challenging

44
Q

How do you manage bleeding

A

position upright
-pressure with gauze, can soak it in 1:50k epi
-cautery (can lead to perf or necrosis)
-make another window to access artery
-cut bone with a high speed diamond bur

45
Q

What is the effect of membrane perforation on sinus lift

A

According to Ferreira 2017, having a perforation does NOT affect implant survival rates. Having good management of the perforation is important though (97.7% in non perf, versus 97.1% in perf). Size of the perforation did not matter. Managed with collagen membrane with tacks to contain the graft. You can still get bone formation after a perforation, Ferreira found 24% NBF in large perforations which is comparable to non perf NBF in the literature.
Higher prevalence of sinusitis has been reported with perforations (Hernandez Alfaro 2008)

46
Q

What is enough stability for you

A

25-45 Ncm
Although there isn’t a defined torque and it is mostly about limiting micromotion
35 Ncm is required for immediate loading

47
Q

How much micromotion is okay

A

50-150 microns

48
Q

What factors affect primary stability

A

-quantity and quality of bone
-implant design
-implant surgical technique

49
Q

define osseointegration

A

Branemark (1977) originally described osseointegration as direct contact between an implant and living bone at the light microscope level
- Branemark (1985) later specifies that there must be direct bone-to-implant contact under load
- Zarb & Albrektsson (1991) definition is based on clinical criteria
- “a process whereby clinically asymptomatic rigid fixation of alloplastic materials is achieved and maintained in bone during functional loading”
- Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms (9th edition, 2017):
- “the process and resultant apparent direct connection of an exogenous material’s surface and the host bone tissues, without intervening fibrous connective tissue present”

50
Q

How will you check for osseointegration/ stability

A

-torque
-RFA
-Periotest
-percussion testing (tapping and basing it off sound, not recommended)
-reverse torque (not recommended)

51
Q

When do you need to do a referral to ENT?

A

Referral recommended to ENT
1. Acute sinusitis (symptoms + air fluid level) tx by MD
2. Chronic sinusitis
3. Allergic sinusitis
4. Fungal sinusitis
5. Opacified sinus
6. Polyps
7. Cyst (>8 mm)
8. Primary/secondary mucocele
9. Tumors
10. Foreign bodies
11. Previous trauma

52
Q

Contraindications for sinus lifts

A

Tumors
-pathology (polyps
-Sinusitis (acute can be tx, chronic is absolute, fungal is absolute)
-smoking (relative)

53
Q

sinusitis symptoms

A

nasal discharge
-nasal congestion
-facial pain
-fever
-radiograph shows air-fluid level

54
Q

Describe the process of osseointegration

A

Bleeding in osteotomy site bathes implant in blood cells, clotting factors, proteins
- Platelets aggregate, Clot formation begins, fibrin matrix is formed
- Chemotactic signaling from blood cells to attract osteogenic cells which migrate through fibrin matrix (osteoconduction)
- Osteogenic cells adhere to implant surface, proliferate, differentiate (osteoinduction)
- Secretion of collagen-free organic matrix which will subsequently initiate collagen fiber assembly and mineralization (de novo bone synthesis)
- Formation of woven bone which will later be remodeled and substituted by lamellar bone

55
Q

How does roughness help with implant osseointegration

A

improving adsorption of fibrin and platelets, which helps with recruitment and attachment of osteogenic cells
- increases BIC to enhance primary stability
-optimal range is Sa = 1-2 microns

56
Q

How do you determine primary stability

A

insertion torque (which is the rotational force during insertion), mainly influenced by the macro structure
-RFA value, which applies a bending load and gives an ISQ value (implant stability quotient) which is the lateral stability of the implant which gives information of the changes in stability overtime

57
Q

Describe the Straumann BLT implant surface

A

Grade 4 titanium with Roxolid (alloy of 85% titanium and 15% zirconium)
SLActive surface: sandblasted acid etched. Crossfit connection with 15 deg internal core
Tapered

58
Q

What if the implant is spinning

A

Balshi 2007 – you can still have survival rate of 82% and osseointegration

59
Q

What are the dimensional changes following tooth extraction?

A

Schropp 2003:
50% bone loss in the BL dimension
2/3 resorption occurs in the first 3m
Bone level at extraction dictates healing (not adjacent teeth)

Van der Weijden 2009 systematic review:
Buccal Height 1.67
Lingual Height 2.03
Width 3.87, most of which is from the buccal bc the cortical plate is thin and mainly composed of bundle bone

60
Q

What is the benefit of ridge preservation?

A

X2 loss in width without grafting
30-40% loss without graft
15-30% loss with graft

More favourable ridge preservation if the buccal bone >1mm

61
Q
A
