Trial summary

Implant placement in the posterior part of the maxilla is frequently compromised or impossible due to atrophy of the alveolar process and pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, alveolar ridge augmentation is frequently necessary before or in conjunction with implant placement. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Osteotome-mediated Sinus Floor Elevation With Bio-Oss Collagen Compared With the Use of no Grafting Material. A Randomized Controlled Trial

Implant placement in the posterior part of the maxilla is frequently compromised or impossible due to atrophy of the alveolar process and pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, alveolar ridge augmentation is frequently necessary before or in conjunction with implant placement. The most commonly used method to augment the maxillary premolar and molar region involves the maxillary sinus floor augmentation applying the lateral window technique with a grafting material. However, the lateral window technique is associated with prolonged patient treatment time and increased morbidity. Thus, osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation (OSFE) with or without the use of a grafting material has been advocated, when the residual bone height is more than 6 mm.

OSFE involves preparation of implant site through the use of concave osteotomes and elevation of the maxillary sinus floor. The survival of suprastructure and implants after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material has never been assessed in long-term randomized controlled trials. A long-term study concluded that OSFE with no grafting material is a predictable treatment modality. High short-term implant survival rates after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material have been reported in systematic reviews. However, the amount of new bone formation after OSFE with the use of a grafting material is significantly higher compared to the use of no grafting material, as documented in a systematic review. Harvesting of autogenous bone graft is associated with risk of donor site morbidity and bone substitutes of natural transplants involves a risk of contamination, activation of host immune system and disease transmission as well as they can be refused by patients for religious reasons or because they are in contrast with chosen lifestyle.

Therefore, the objective of the present study is to test the H0-hypothesis of no difference in the long-term implant treatment outcome after OSFE with Bio-Oss Collagen compared with the use of no grafting material. A total of 40 consecutively healthy patients with a missing posterior tooth in the maxilla will be allocated at random to OSFE with Bio-Oss Collagen or no grafting material and simultaneous implant placement. Clinical and/or radiographical evaluation using periapical radiographs and Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) will be performed preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, after abutment connection, after prosthetic rehabilitation, one year, three years and five years after loading to assess the long-term implant treatment outcome and the volumetric changes of the augmented area. The primary outcome will include survival of suprastructures, survival of implants, volumetric stability of the augmented area, peri-implant marginal bone level, oral health related quality of life, and complications related to the two treatment modalities.

Read the detailed description

Implant placement in the posterior part of the maxilla is frequently compromised or impossible due to atrophy of the alveolar process and pneumatisation of the maxillary sinus. Therefore, alveolar ridge augmentation is frequently necessary before or in conjunction with implant placement. The most commonly used method to augment the maxillary premolar and molar region involves the maxillary sinus floor augmentation applying the lateral window technique with autogenous bone graft or bone substitutes and the treatment outcome has been reported in systematic reviews. However, maxillary sinus floor augmentation with the lateral window technique and bone harvesting is associated with prolonged patient treatment time and risk of donor site morbidity. Hence, OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material is commonly used to simplify the surgical procedure, when the residual alveolar bone height is more than 6 mm.

OSFE with simultaneous implant placement was originally described by Summers in 1994. The surgical procedure involves a transalveolar up-fracture and elevation of the maxillary sinus floor and Schneiderian membrane using concave osteotomes. Implants are inserted simultaneously to support the elevated floor of the maxillary sinus. The created compartment between the elevated floor of the maxillary sinus and the original sinus floor is filled with either particulated autogenous bone graft, a bone substitute or without a grafting material. The final implant treatment outcome after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material have previous been assessed in systematic reviews and meta-analyses disclosing high implant survival rates with few complications. However, the included studies are often characterized by a moderate to high risk of bias and the conclusions are based on short-term non-randomized controlled trials, whereas long-term randomized controlled trials assessing OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material is sparse.

OSFE with autogenous bone graft or a bone substitute is considered the golden standard and the gain in alveolar bone height is enhanced with the use of a grafting material compared to the use of no grafting material. Bio-Oss (Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) is a deproteinized bone substitute of bovine bone origin and several studies have documented that Bio-Oss possesses important properties when used as a membrane-supporting material and as a scaffold for in-growth of host cells including biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. Bio-Oss has been used for different bone augmentation procedures for more than 30 years and OSFE with Bio-Oss is a safe and very predictable surgical procedure with few complications and minimal morbidity, as documented in systematic reviews and long-term studies. However, bone substitutes of natural transplants involves a risk of contamination, activation of host immune system and disease transmission as well as they can be refused by patients for religious reasons or because they are in contrast with chosen lifestyle. Thus, OSFE without a grafting material is associated with obvious advantages for the patient, including reduced risk of infection, less cost, reduced length of operation time and no risk of disease transmission.

Survival of suprastructures and implants are the most important measures for the assessment of the long-term implant treatment outcome. However, long-term survival of suprastructures after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material has never been compared within a randomized controlled trial. Moreover, patient-reported outcome measures after OSFE have never previously been assessed. A long-term randomized controlled trial revealed no significant differences in implant survival after OSFE with Bio-Oss compared with the use of no grafting material after five years. A newly published systematic review and meta-analysis disclosed no significant differences in the short-term implant survival after OSFE with or without the use of a grafting material and a long-term retrospective study assessing OSFE without the use of a grafting material reported an implant survival rate 97.7% after 15 years. Moreover, long-term studies assessing OSFE without a graft material revealed high implant survival after 10 years.

In conclusion, OSFE without the use of a grafting material seems to be a predictable treatment modality with high implant survival. However, the long-term survival of suprastructure and implants after OSFE with or without the use of a graft material is presently not sufficient clarified and has not been assessed in long-term randomized trial.
