Hard tissue replacement (HTR) polymer shows promise for sinus floor elevation in dental implant procedures. This material facilitated new bone growth, ensuring adequate support for implants without adverse reactions in most patients.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Dentistry

Background:

  • Sinus floor elevation is a critical procedure for dental implantation in patients with insufficient bone height.
  • Evaluating new biomaterials for bone regeneration is essential for improving implant success rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the clinical suitability and tissue integration of hard tissue replacement (HTR) polymer for sinus floor elevation.
  • To evaluate the new bone formation and potential complications associated with HTR use in dental implantology.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 26 sinus floor elevations in 16 patients using HTR polymer.
  • Follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 12 months post-procedure.
  • Clinical assessment of wound healing, tissue integration, and bone quality.

Main Results:

  • No prolonged wound healing or rejection reactions were observed.
  • Significant new bone and fibrous connective tissue formation occurred between 8-10 months, supporting implantation.
  • At 12 months, HTR and new bone formed a hard union, sometimes difficult to shape.
  • Alveolar bone resorption occurred in 3 cases with initially thin bone (2-3 mm), attributed to surgical-technical factors, not the HTR material.

Conclusions:

  • HTR polymer is a suitable material for sinus floor elevation procedures.
  • The material effectively promotes bone regeneration for dental implant support.
  • Careful surgical technique is necessary to avoid complications like bone resorption in cases of severely atrophic alveolar ridges.
