Objective: The aim was to evaluate the 1‐year implant outcome and patient‐related outcome measures (PROMs) after maxillary sinus membrane elevation and coagulum (test) compared with maxillary sinus floor augmentation and a 1:1 ratio of autogenous bone graft from the buccal antrostomy and deproteinised porcine bone mineral (DPBM) (control). Materials and methods: Forty patients (30 female, 10 male) with a mean age of 50 years (range 25–71 years) and an alveolar ridge height between 4 and 7 mm were randomly allocated to test or control. Outcome measures included survival of suprastructures and implants, implant stability quotient, health status of the peri‐implant tissue, peri‐implant marginal bone loss, frequency of complications and PROMs using Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 combined with questionnaires assessing patient's perception of the peri‐implant soft tissue, implant crown, function of the implant, and total implant treatment outcome using visual analogue scale. Mean differences were expressed with standard deviation and 95% confidence interval. Level of significance was 0.05. Results: All suprastructures and implants were well‐functioning after 1‐year of functional implant loading. No significant difference in any of the applied outcome measures was observed between test and control. Both treatments revealed high patient satisfaction scores and significant improvement in oral health‐related quality of life. Conclusion: There were no significant differences in implant outcome and PROMs between test and control, after 1‐year of functional implant loading. Neither of the treatments can therefore be considered better than the other. Thus, long‐term randomized controlled trials are needed before definitive conclusions can be provided about the two treatment modalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The objective was to assess patient's perception of recovery after maxillary sinus membrane elevation (MSME) and blood coagulum (test) compared with maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) and 1:1 mixture of autogenous bone graft from the buccal antrostomy and deproteinized porcine bone mineral (DPBM) (control). Materials and methods: Forty healthy patients were randomly allocated to test or control. Oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) was evaluated by Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 (OHIP‐14) at enrollment and 1 week postsurgical. Recovery was estimated by questionnaires and visual analog scale assessing pain, social and working isolation, physical appearance, eating and speaking ability, diet variations, sleep impairment, and discomfort after 1 week and 1 month. Mean differences were expressed with 95% confidence interval (CI). Association between OHRQoL and recovery was estimated. p‐value below.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Maxillary sinus membrane elevation revealed 2.1 less days of pain (p =.03, 95% CI: 0.2–4.1) and 1.2 days of sick leave (p =.01, 95% CI: 0.3–2.1) compared with MSFA. No significant difference was observed in eating and speaking ability, physical appearance, work performance, and sleep impairment. No significant association between impaired OHRQoL and recovery was observed. Females reported 4.77 higher OHIP‐14 score compared with males (p =.01, 95% CI: 1.60–7.94), while association between age and OHIP‐14 was −0.10 (p =.28, 95% CI: −0.28 to 0.08). Conclusion: Maxillary sinus membrane elevation revealed significantly less days of pain and sick leave compared with MSFA. Harvesting of autogenous bone graft seems, therefore, to have a significant impact on perception of recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The objective was to assess the one year implant treatment outcome and patient‐related outcome measures (PROMs) following maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) with autogenous bone graft (ABG) from the zygomatic buttress (control) compared with 1:1 mixture of ABG and anorganic porcine bone mineral (APBM) (Test I) or biphasic bone graft material (BBGM) (Test II). Materials and Methods: Sixty healthy patients (34 females, 26 males) were randomly allocated to either control or test groups. Outcome measures included survival of suprastructures and implants, implant stability quotient, health status of peri‐implant tissue, peri‐implant marginal bone loss, frequency of complications, and PROMs using Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 combined with questionnaire assessing patient perception of peri‐implant soft tissue, prosthetic solution, implant function, and implant treatment outcome using visual analogue scale. Mean differences were expressed with standard deviation and 95% confidence interval. Level of significance was.05. Results: All suprastructures and implants were well‐functioning after one year of functional implant loading. There was no significant difference between control and test groups in any of the applied outcome measures. The implant stability significantly increased from implant placement to abutment connection within all groups (p <.001). High patient satisfaction and significant improvement in oral health‐related quality of life was also reported within all groups. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that MSFA with composite grafts containing minimal amounts of ABG reveals comparable implant treatment outcomes as compared with ABG alone, after one year of functional implant loading. Extensive ABG harvesting in conjunction with MSFA therefore seems not to be needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To test whether there is a difference in professional and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROM) after single‐crown restoration supported by short implants (SI) (6 mm) compared with standard length implants (SLI) (13 mm) in conjunction with maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) after 1 year of functional implant loading. Material and Methods: Forty patients were randomly allocated to SI or SLI/MSFA. PROM included Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP‐14) questionnaire and subjective assessment of the peri‐implant soft tissue (A), implant crown (B), implant function (C) and overall implant treatment outcome (D) using visual analogue scale (VAS). Professional assessment included pink aesthetic score (PES) and white aesthetic score (WES). Results: No significant differences in professional or PROM between the two treatment modalities were revealed at any time point (p >.05). OHIP‐14 score decreased at baseline and 1 year after functional implant loading compared with preoperative measurements indicating improved quality of life with both treatment modalities. The 1‐year mean VAS score was 9.4 (A), 9.3 (B), 9.6 (C) and 9.3 (D) for SI compared with 9.3 (A), 9.6 (B), 9.7 (C) and 9.2 (D) for SLI. The 1‐year mean PES/WES scores were 11.3 and 8.1 for SI compared with 11.2 and 8.1 for SLI/MSFA. Conclusions: Prosthetic rehabilitation of the posterior part of the maxilla with SI or SLI/MSFA revealed no significant differences in professional and PROM after 1 year of implant loading.
