About this study

This study is intended to evaluate the efficiency of graftless maxillary sinus augmentation with concentrated growth factor (CGF) utilizing "dynamic implant valve approach" (DIVA) system.

Read the detailed description

Crestal bone deficiency in the posterior maxilla may present a therapeutic challenge when dental implants are required. Sufficient bone volume is necessary for the long term survival of the implant .

The two most used surgical techniques are the crestal and the lateral window. The latter was first described by Tatum and subsequently, Boyene and James in 1980 . In the original technique, after fracturing the sinus floor, an implant was placed and submerged during the healing phase. The crestal osteotome technique is less invasive and was first described by Summers in 1994 . In this technique, a set of osteotomes is used to prepare the implant site, thereby allowing bone preservation.

Since the sinus augmentation was describes, bone grafts have been the mainstay of treatment. Variable bone grafts, such as autografts, allografts, xenografts, alloplasts, or combinations of different graft materials, have been used widely with similar results . Nonetheless, successful bone augmentation in the maxillary sinus, without bone grafting, have been reported in human and animal studies.

In 2011, Dong-Seok et al described sinus augmentation through a lateral window approach, using a fibrin rich block with concentrated growth factor (CGF). The researchers showed successful new bone formation in the sinus, with a success rate of 98% and no major complications .

Graftless Sinus augmentation relies on bioactive mediators that stimulate cell proliferation, matrix remodeling, and angiogenesis. CGF is one of the latest developments in this field, and is produced by processing blood samples with a special centrifuge device. It contains several mediators - platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1) and b2 (TGF-b2), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF). Because CGF is a dense fibrin matrix, richer in growth factors than other preparations, it has proved to have a better regenerative capacity and versatility .

As for the application of CGF, the introduction of the "dynamic implant valve approach" (DIVA), a minimally invasive approach procedure, enables the use of a closed bone augmentation technique. The implant was designed with an internal sealing screw that might serve as drug delivery system via its channel.

In this study, a graftless maxillary sinus augmentation with CGF will be performed utilizing DIVA system, and the bone formation will be periodically measured using panoramic X-ray and cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT).

In addition, in vitro cumulative release of selected growth factors of the CGF will be analyzed. The total quantity of growth factors will be checked using ELISA kits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. bone formation after sinus augmentation

    during postoperative follow-up, bone formation in the maxillary sinus will be assessed by periodic imaging.

    after one year the investigators expect to see complete implant integration into the bone formed in the maxillary sinus(e.g; the dental implant is completely covered by bone).

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quantification of growth factors released from the CGF matrix in vitro

    ELISA test will be used to quantify the released growth factors, and the data will be compared to the factors released from regular bone material.

    Measured: one year
