Preliminary Observations Regarding the Use of Biophytomodulators as Membrane Barriers in Sinus Lift

摘要

The concept of the placement of membrane barriers over the window created in thelateral sinus wall following the sinus lift approach is a logical extension of the use of collagenmembranes in orthopedics, periodontology or proprosthetic surgery. The aim of this study is todetermine the effect of biophytomodulators used as membrane barriers on the integration of sinusgrafts. The observations were performed in 10 sheep (divided into two groups, group I - the controlgroup, without biophytomodulators, and group II, with biophytomodulators) matched for age (10months) and weight (30-31 kg), benefiting from the same breeding and care conditions, whichunderwent sinus lift, using PerioGlas as an addition material, and a DIEE device was placed between 2membranes. The clinical, radiological and histomorphometric evaluation showed a more rapid healing,the presence of a higher radiopacity and a greater thickness of the sinus wall in the group II. The useof biophytomodulators as membrane barriers leads to the reduction of the healing period and,implicitly, of the period of integration of the sinus grafts, the final result being a more rapid prostheticrestoration of the implants.
