The Impact of Ozone Gel on the Implant Stability and Bone Measurements After Transcrestal Sinus Floor Elevation with Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
摘要
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using ozone gel with transcrestal sinus floor elevation on the clinical and radiographic outcome of implants placed simultaneously.
Materials and MethodsA total of 30 sinuses with an average residual alveolar bone height ranging from 4 to 7 mm participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial. After transcrestal sinus floor elevation operation, patients were randomly and equally allocated into control group where transcrestal sinus floor elevation “TSFE” with simultaneous implant placement were done and ozone gel recipient group where ozone gel was placed in the osteotomy site after TSFE and prior to implant placement. Cone beam computed tomography was performed immediately and at 4 months postoperatively. Bone stability was measured immediately and at 3 & 4 months postoperatively. Bone height and stability were evaluated radiographically, and bone stability was measured using the Osstell device.
ResultsRadiographic analysis revealed that the mean bone height of the control group after four months postoperative was 11.09 ± 0.86 mm compared to 10.73 ± 0.65 mm in the study group, which was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). The mean bone density value of the control group four months after surgery was 272.3 ± 119.1 Gy values compared to 363.6 ± 178.6 Gy values in the study group. Although the bone density in the study group was higher than the control group, it was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). The mean ISQ value after 4 months in the ozone gel group was 86.7 ± 6.7 compared to 86.4 ± 3.7 in the control group, which was statistically non-significant.
ConclusionOzone gel recipient group showed non-significant results in terms of the bone height and implant stability as compared to graftless tenting technique. However, it showed better but also non-significant results in terms of bone density. Therefore, both techniques showed accepted results.
