Summary
Periodontal phenotype (PP) and sinus membrane thickness (SMT) show a strong positive correlation. However, more research is needed to confirm this link between PP and SMT.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry and Periodontology
- Radiology and Imaging
Background:
- The relationship between periodontal phenotype (PP) and sinus membrane thickness (SMT) is not fully understood.
- Assessing this correlation is crucial for dental implantology and sinus lift procedures.
Approach:
- A systematic review adhering to PRISMA guidelines was performed.
- Searches included multiple databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science) and gray literature from 1970 to September 2022.
- Six cross-sectional studies involving 510 adult patients were analyzed for the correlation between PP and SMT.
Key Points:
- A high positive correlation (≥0.7) between periodontal phenotype and sinus membrane thickness was observed in 83.3% of the included studies.
- All analyzed studies were cross-sectional and presented a high overall risk of bias.
- The findings suggest a likely association between PP and SMT.
Conclusions:
- Periodontal phenotype and sinus membrane thickness appear to be correlated.
- Further high-quality, standardized research is necessary to establish definitive conclusions regarding the PP-SMT relationship.
