Abstract
OBJECTIVE Segmental mandibular defects can occur due to various etiologies, including trauma and tumor resection. Reconstruction should provide adequate support for subsequent dental rehabilitation and allow for proper occlusion. Nonvascularized bone grafts have been used for reconstructing mandibular defects in cases where vascularized grafts were not feasible. The objective of this study was to assess the success rate of these grafts in reconstruction of segmental defects of various sizes in the mandible. STUDY DESIGN Fifty patients were included in this retrospective chart review. Length of the grafts varied from 3 to 20 cm and patients were followed up from 4 to 80 months. Fifteen grafts were harvested from anterior iliac crest, 23 from posterior iliac crest, 9 grafts were a combination of either with costochondral graft, and 3 were solely allografts. Bone morphogenetic protein was utilized in 41 cases as an adjunct. RESULTS Success was defined as continuity of bone clinically and radiographically at a 4-month follow-up. Nonvascularized bone grafting was successful in 90% of cases. Complications were observed in 34% of cases, of which the most common were infection followed by wound dehiscence. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated substantial success rate with nonvascularized bone grafts in reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects.

[PMID: 39139359 PMCID: PMC11318657 DOI: 10.5037/jomr.2024.15201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
Objectives This systematic review aims to critically assess the impact of platelet-rich fibrin on maxillary sinus floor augmentation and outline the specific aspects of new bone formation, bone height, implant stability quotient, and Schneiderian membrane thickness. Material and Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, analysing studies from MEDLINE (PubMed), the Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect databases, published from January 29, 2018 until January 29, 2024 that compared maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) using bone graft material with and without platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This review focused on patients 18 years and older who undergone MSFA before the dental implant placement. It systematically examined five studies, encompassing randomized controlled trials, and reported on 112 MSFA procedures conducted in 84 patients. Results The meta-analysis reveals a marginal significance in new bone formation with PRF, suggesting a trend towards beneficial outcomes that were not statistically significant. No significant impact on bone height was observed. However, a notable improvement in implant stability quotient (ISQ) was recorded, indicating enhanced implant stability with PRF. The Schneiderian membrane thickness did not show significant changes post-treatment with PRF. Conclusions While platelet-rich fibrin shows promise in enhancing implant stability, its effects on new bone formation and Schneiderian membrane thickness are inconclusive, highlighting the need for further research. Platelet-rich fibrin did not significantly affect bone height. The findings support platelet-rich fibrin's potential as a beneficial adjunct in maxillary sinus floor augmentation, particularly for implant stability.

Combination of leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin and demineralized bovine bone graft enhanced bone formation and healing after maxillary sinus augmentation: a randomized clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:5485-5498. [PMID: 37580431 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05167-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The resorption of alveolar ridge bone and maxillary sinus pneumatization are challenges to implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation. Bone regeneration using bone substitutes and growth factors are alternatives for maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA). Therefore, we sought to evaluate the effects of the association between leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in MSA procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six maxillary sinuses from 24 individuals were included in this randomized clinical trial. The maxillary sinuses were randomly grafted with LPRF and DBBM (test group) or grafted only with DBBM (positive control). Dental implants were installed in the test group following two periods of evaluation: after 4 (DBBM+LPRF4) and 8 (DBBM+LPFR8) months of sinus graft healing, while the control group received implants only after 8 months. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was taken 1 week after surgery (T1) and before implant placement (T2). Bone samples were collected during implant placement for histomorphometric and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. The primary implant stability was assessed by resonance frequency analysis. RESULTS CBCT analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in bone volume from T1 to T2 in all groups without differences among them. Histologically, the test group showed significantly increase in bone neoformation in both periods of evaluation (LPRF+DBBM4: 44.70±14.01%; LPRF+DBBM8: 46.56±12.25%) compared to the control group (32.34±9.49%). The control group showed the highest percentage of residual graft. IHC analysis showed increased staining intensity of osteocalcin (OCN), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2) in LPRF+DBBM4 group, and osteopontin (OPN) in the L-PRF+DBBM8. Primary implant stability was successfully achieved (above 60 in implant stability quotient) in all the evaluated groups. CONCLUSION Combination of L-PRF and DBBM increased and accelerated new bone formation allowing early implant placement probably due to the higher protein expression of RUNX2, VEGF, OCN, and OPN. These data suggest that the use of L-PRF might be an interesting alternative to use in combination with DBBM for augment the maxillary sinuses allowing the installation of appropriate length implants in shorter period of time. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study showed improvement in bone neoformation and accelerated healing when associating L-PRF and DBBM for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered before participant recruitment in Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC - RBR-95m73t).
