Purpose:
The aim of this study was to clinically evaluate the success of implants placed in conjunction with a new material, tissue-engineered bone, and the stability of the regenerated bone after functional loading on a long-term basis.
Methods:
The tissue-engineered bone was applied to 14 cases, in which 6 patients were with partially or totally edentulous arches scheduled for sinus floor grafting and 8 patients underwent concurrent onlay plasty.
Results:
This study showed that the injectable bone formation induced bone in this anatomical site in 100% of the patients. The results also indicate that it might be possible to achieve the osseointegration of simultaneous implant placements with the grafts.
Conclusions:
It may be possible that injectable bone can shorten the period of implant treatment and reduce the patient's burden and expect good long-term prognosis.
