Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the amount of bone formation with PEEK (intervention group) in comparison with Titanium Meshwork (control group) in maxillary sinus lifting using CBCT and assessment of the biocompatibility of the Meshwork and PEEK with the schniederian membrane integrity.

Detailed description

All patients involved in this study will be divided into two equal groups, each group will be; (Tested group): PEEK after maxillary sinus lifts (Caldwell luc approach). (Control group): Titanium meshwork after maxillary sinus lifts (Caldwell luc approach). Clinical evaluation: A through medical and dental history followed by clinical examination was carried out for all patients. Clinical measurements were taken to ensure patient adherence to our initial inclusion criteria prior to further investigations. A preoperative digital panoramic radiograph with 1:1 magnification was taken for each patient as a primary survey in order to exclude the presence of any lesion at the area of interest and take a primary measurement for the residual bone height of maxillary sinus. CBCT will be taken in order to design the custom-made PEEK model and its guide of external window before the milling. Intra operative procedures for two groups: The operation was carried out with the patient under local anesthesia (2% Lido HCl with 1:100,000 epinephrine). The perioral areas were aseptically prepared. A crestal incision was made on the midline of the gingiva attached to the edentulous ridge. The flap was elevated carefully and extended labially to expose the bone. A mesial and distal vertical releasing incision will be made as needed. The mucosal flap was denuded subperiosteally to fully expose the sharp and thin alveolar ridge and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus. Extreme care was taken to radically elevate the sinus membrane from the lateral access window opened by using an electric-motor drill with appropriate water cooling. The floor, lateral wall, medial and posterior wall of the sinus membrane were meticulously detached and pushed upward for the placement of PEEK in intervention group and titanium meshwork in control group. • Follow up: Patients will be evaluated after 3 days and weekly for the first month and then after 6 months Radiographic assessment will be achieved by CBCT scan 6 months postoperatively to calculate the amount of vertical bone gain.
