Summary: | Objective
This study evaluates whether or not, among other factors, membrane‐coverage of antrostomy defects improves implant survival in sinus augmentation procedures.
Materials and Methods
We performed a two‐arm and split‐mouth randomized controlled clinical trial on 104 and 5 patients respectively. In the two‐arm study, antrostomy defects were membrane‐covered in 66 procedures and uncovered in 69, before placing a total of 265 implants that were followed up for 1 year. In the split‐mouth study, following bilateral sinus augmentation, antrostomy defects were membrane‐covered on one side and left uncovered on the contra‐lateral. Bone biopsies from each sinus were histologically analysed 6 months later.
Results
In the two‐arm study, implant survival rates were similar (p = 0.08) in the membrane‐covered (96.1%) and uncovered (94.2%) groups. In the split‐mouth study, bone augmentation was similar in both groups (p = 0.52). Delayed implant placement (p = 0.04), thick Schneider's membrane (≥2 mm) (p |
