| Sumario: | Background: Transcrestal sinus floor elevation is a reliable procedure when additional bone height is needed for maxillary implant placement. However, the grafted bone undergoes remodeling and the dimensional stability of grafted bone height may be affected by several clinical factors, including graft material, sinus anatomy and the morphology of grafted space. Methods: This retrospective study examined patients who had undergone transcrestal sinus floor elevation with synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate and single implant placement. The reduction of sinus graft height (GHR) after 6–8 months healing period was measured with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Correlating factors, including vertical amount of implant protrusion (IP), sinus width, and the morphology of grafted space were analyzed by Spearman's correlation test. Results: A total of 25 implant sites were analyzed. The mean GHR was 0.57 ± 0.49 mm, which was positively correlated with IP, vertical elevation height (VEH), and the ratio of vertical to horizontal elevation of the grafted space. However, GHR was not correlated with sinus width and mesial-distal or buccal-palatal width of the grafted space. Conclusions: Synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate used in transcrestal sinus floor elevation underwent shrinkages and graft remodeling. Grafted height reduction was associated with IP, VEH, and the ratio of vertical to horizontal elevation of the grafted space. |
