Comparison of clinical outcomes of sinus bone graft with simultaneous implant placement: 4-month and 6-month final prosthetic loading.

摘要

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the survival rate and surrounding tissue condition of sinus bone grafts with simultaneous implant placement between 4-month and 6-month occlusal loading after implantation. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-seven patients (61 implants) who were treated with sinus bone grafts (sinus lateral approach) and simultaneous Osstem GS II implant placement from July 2007 to June 2008 were included in this study. Of these patients, 14 (31 implants) were in the 4-month loading group, and 13 (30 implants) were in the 6-month loading group. We investigated the implantation type (submerged or nonsubmerged), sinus membrane perforation, type of prosthesis, opposed tooth type, primary and secondary stability of implants, and crestal bone loss around implant and surrounding tissue conditions. RESULTS: The amounts of crestal bone-loss at the final recall time (12.56 +/- 5.95 mo after loading) of the 4-month and 6-month loading groups were 0.19 +/- 0.33 mm and 0.39 +/- 0.86 mm, respectively. However, the difference between groups was not statistically significant (P = .211). The width of keratinized mucosa, gingival index, plaque index, and pocket depth of the 4-month and 6-month loading groups were 2.50 +/- 1.69 mm and 1.73 +/- 1.40 mm (P = .081), 0.72 +/- 0.83 and 0.59 +/- 0.69 (P = .671), 1.11 +/- 0.96 and 0.76 +/- 0.79 (P = .226), 3.56 +/- 0.98 mm and 3.65 +/- 1.06 mm (P = .758), respectively. The primary stabilities of implants in the 4-month and 6-month loading groups were 61.96 +/- 12.84 and 56.06 +/- 15.55 (P = .120), and the secondary stabilities were 71.85 +/- 6.80 and 66.51 +/- 11.28 (P = .026), respectively. The secondary stability of the 4-month group was significantly higher than that of the 6-month group. There was no statistical difference (P > .05) between the 4-month and 6-month loading groups regarding the implantation type (submerged or nonsubmerged), sinus membrane perforation, type of prosthesis, or opposed tooth type. In the 4-month and 6-month groups, all of the implants survived until the final recall time. CONCLUSIONS: For the cases in which the residual bone was >3 mm and primary implant stability could be obtained, we conclude that loading is possible 4 months after the sinus bone graft and simultaneous implant placement.
