Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Animal Models in Research

Background:

  • The sinus lift procedure is crucial for augmenting the maxillary sinus floor.
  • Understanding the healing process of autogenous bone grafts is essential for successful outcomes.
  • An effective experimental model is needed to study sinus graft repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a reliable experimental model for the sinus lift procedure in rabbits.
  • To investigate the repair and bone regeneration of autogenous bone grafts in the maxillary sinus.

Main Methods:

  • A corticocancellous bone block was grafted into the maxillary sinus of 18 rabbits.
  • Animals were evaluated histologically at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-grafting.

Main Results:

  • New bone formation was evident by 2 weeks, with no signs of inflammation.
  • Lamellar bone structures appeared by 4 weeks.
  • Continuous cortical bone formation under the elevated membrane and significant fat cell infiltration in the medullary cavity were observed at 8 weeks.

Conclusions:

  • The sinus lift procedure in this rabbit model showed no histologic complications.
  • The study confirmed the formation of new, continuous cortical bone along the elevated membrane within 8 weeks.
  • This rabbit model is suitable for further research on sinus lift procedures and bone graft healing.
