Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to compare osseointegration and osteogenesis after single-stage maxillary sinus augmentation with the lateral window using particulate deproteinized porcine bone mineral (PDPBM) and collagenated block deproteinized porcine bone mineral (BDPBM).

Materials and methods

Bi-maxillary premolars of six beagle dogs were extracted. Eight weeks later, an implant was placed into each augmented sinus with PDPBM or BDPBM according to a split-mouth design. Eight weeks later, all specimens were harvested. Each specimen was separated into the region of interest with the implant (ROI-I) and region of interest with sinus augmented area (ROI-S) 5 mm away from ROI-I. ROI-I and ROI-S were evaluated through micro-computed tomography and histomorphometry.

Results

Bone substitute insertion took longer for the PDPBM group than for the BDPBM group (P = 0.002). In ROI-I, three-dimensional bone-to-implant contact (BIC) did not show statistically significant differences between the groups. Two-dimensional BIC also showed comparable values for both groups. In ROI-S, the graft material volume/tissue volume, trabecular bone pattern factor, and structural model index were higher in the BDPBM group than in the PDPBM group (P < 0.05). The proportions of new bone, graft material, and connective tissue were not significantly statistically different between groups. Less new bone was found in the apical area than in the coronal or middle areas in the BCPBM group (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

BDPBM may save time in inserting bone substitutes and provide comparable osteogenesis and osseointegration to PDPBM.

Clinical relevance

When performing sinus augmentation, BDPBM might improve operator's convenience with comparable biological results compared to PDPBM.
