An electrical mallet aids sinus floor elevation with immediate implants, achieving stable bone gain and a 98.57% survival rate over two years. This technique offers a fast, accurate, and comfortable option for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Sinus floor elevation is crucial for maxillary posterior implant placement.
  • Traditional methods can be invasive and cause patient discomfort.
  • Immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets offers potential benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of an electrical mallet for osteotome-assisted sinus floor elevation.
  • To assess implant survival and bone gain in fresh extraction sockets with immediate implants.
  • To report 2-year follow-up outcomes of this surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 32 patients (70 implants) undergoing immediate implant placement.
  • Osteotome-assisted sinus floor elevation using an electrical mallet.

  • Radiographic evaluation at 70 days, 1 year, and 2 years post-surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Cumulative implant survival rate of 98.57% at 2 years.
    • Mean alveolar bone gain of 2.63 mm at 70 days, stabilizing at 4.08 mm by 2 years.
    • No reported membrane perforations or significant patient distress.

    Conclusions:

    • The electrical mallet is effective for sinus floor elevation and immediate implant placement.
    • The technique provides stable bone augmentation and high implant survival.
    • It offers a rapid, accurate, and patient-friendly alternative for complex implant cases.
