A comparative study of dog models for osteotome sinus floor elevation and dental implants in posterior maxilla subjacent to the maxillary sinus

Osteotome sinus floor elevation with and without grafting: an animal study in Labrador dogs

“…These results further indicate Labrador dogs could be used as an animal model for OSFE, which agreed with previous animal assessment (Liu et al. ).…”

“…The anatomic structure of sinus cavity and alveolar crest under sinus floor in Labrador dogs were described by Liu et al. (). A coronal section at the middle of the forth premolar of a dissected Labrador dog skull was showed in Fig.…”

“…The results of a recent animal model assessment also showed that Labrador dogs are suitable for OSFE with implant placement in posterior maxilla (Liu et al. ).…”

Endo‐sinus bone formation after transalveolar sinus floor elevation without grafting with simultaneous implant placement: Histological and histomorphometric assessment in a dog model

“…Twelve adult male Labrador dogs, about 30 months of ages and weighing 26.0–32.9 kg, with fully erupted permanent dentition were selected for this study. The anatomical structure of sinus cavity and alveolar crest under sinus floor in Labrador dogs were described previously (Liu, Sun, Xu, Lin, & Lu, ; Si et al., ). The alveolar crest height under sinus floor is about 5 mm.…”

Optimized beagle model for maxillary sinus floor augmentation via a mini-lateral window with simultaneous implant placement

“…Furthermore, beagles are abundantly available, easy to maintain, adaptable to their environment, and durable, and they have immunity against infections. 4 – 6 These advantages make beagles suitable models for intraoral surgery in the maxillary sinus region. 6 Kent and Block (quoted by Liu et al.…”
