Comparison Synthetic Hydroxyapatite and Inorganic Bovine Bone in Sinus Floor Elevation — SYNBIO  

Alveolar Bone Loss Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of Histological and Radiographic Evidence After Sinus Lift With Synthetic Nano-hydroxyapatite and Inorganic Bovine Bone.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is set as prospective clinical trial to correlate histologically and radiologically the performance of four different bone grafts (synthetic hydroxyapatite alone, synthetic hydroxyapatite mixed with polylactic-polyglycolic acid, synthetic hydroxyapatite with i-PRF and inorganic bone graft) in the sinus floor elevation technique with lateral approach for the treatment of atrophic crests.

Clinical Trial Description

SURGICAL PROCEDURE:

After local anesthesia and a large full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap in the area of interest, an osteotomy window on the side wall of the maxillary sinus will be opened using bone scrapers and / or ultrasonic instruments. Will be recorded the time needed for the opening dell'antrostomy and any perforations of the membrane at this stage. The Schneider membrane is then gently elevated with ultrasonic instrumentation and curettes manuals: after testing the integrity of the membrane by means of visual inspection and the Valsalva maneuver, the sealed envelope in which will be indicated to the surgeon the material to be used as a graft will be opened. The biomaterials selected for this study are a synthetic nano-hydroxyapatite (SNHA) (FISIOGRAFT Bone, Italy), to be used either alone, or mixed with a polylactic- polyglycolic copolymer (PLGA) (FISIOGRAFT, Italy), or mixed with autologous platelet derived (i-PRF) and inorganic bovine bone (ABB) (Bio-Oss, Geistlich, Switzerland). After completing the insertion of the biomaterial, the antrostomy will be protected with a resorbable collagen membrane (BioGide, Geistlich, Switzerland) and the flaps will be sutured with a synthetic monofilament.

It will prescribe antibiotics for 6 days (amoxicillin 1 g twice daily or, in allergic patients, clarithromycin 250 mg twice a day) and NSAIDs (ibuprofen 600 mg), as needed. An aerosol treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate and n-acetylcysteine (Fluimucil, Zambon, Italy) will be prescribed at the discretion of the clinician.

POSTOPERATIVE RECALLS:

The sutures will be removed after 10 days and a cone beam computed tomography X-ray will be performed to assess the correct distribution of the graft material and early intercept any accidental leakage of the same in the sinus cavities.

After six months it will proceed to a new radiographic evaluation to assess the resulting regeneration and be able to plan the implant placement.

It will then proceed to the preparation of the sites for the implants using twist-drills. The fixtures are left healed submerged for a period of four months, at the end of which will be connected with the healing screws to start the prosthetic procedures.

After therapy patients will enter a maintenance program with periodic reminders of professional oral hygiene. Patients will be re-evaluated clinically and radiologically after one, three and five years to control the condition of the plants and the stability of the performed regeneration. ;
