“…The CLM technique is a simple, fast, and effective way to retrieve dental fragments displaced into the maxillary sinuses, offering the possibility of being performed in an ambulatory facility under local anaesthesia, with minimal risk, low costs and low complication rates, when performed by dentists with good training in oral surgery. 3dimensional imaging with a CBCT scan is considered as a gold standard because it can precisely locate the displaced tooth or root and detect any changes in the maxillary sinus (Alqerban et al, 2011;Botticelli, 2022).…”

The palatal root of the first permanent molar is the most commonly deflected root into the maxillary sinus during extraction. A rational approach to the surgical removal of a root from the antrum is important. Some surgeons prefer the alveolar approach while others prefer the Caldwell-Luc operation. In this report, a case was presented where the palatal root tip of the right upper first molar was displaced into the right maxillary sinus during simple extraction of the tooth which was later successfully removed from the maxillary sinus by the Caldwell-Luc approach. CBCT was used to locate and remove the lost root tip.

“…The decision between the two techniques depends on the quantity of the remaining native bone, skills and experience of the practitioner, and anatomical conditions of the sinus: presence of cysts within the sinus cavity, presence of one or more septa, acute palatal-nasal recess, trajectory of the superior posterior alveolar artery and its branches (alveolar antral artery) [ 5 – 7 ]. To accurately assess the anatomical conditions of the sinus, the golden standard imagistic evaluation is considered the CBCT (Cone Beam Computer Tomography) [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Maxillary lateral sinus floor elevation, or external sinus lift, is a widespread surgical intervention in the dental field. Insertion of implants in the posterior region of the maxilla often requires reconstruction of the remaining native bone that has insufficient volume. Background and aims. Much of the research published involves using artificial products, like xenografts and resorbable collagen membranes, after a prior Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) investigation. Nowadays, more accessible access, less financial costs, a biological approach, and faster healing are objectives that surround this procedure. Leucocytes and platelets rich in Fibrin (L-PRF) are a natural component with a high concentration of growth factors. Due to its regenerative properties and lack of complications, it is used in several medical fields, like orthopedics, dermatology, and oral surgery. This retrospective study aims to compare results in bone height and volume obtained through external sinus lift, either by using xenografts or autologous plasma rich in fibrin, by evaluating the quantity of new bone formation from a radiological point of view. Methods. Fifty-eight Caucasian patients were included in this retrospective study; 48 were submitted to xenograft procedure, and 10 were selected for L-PRF grafting material with simultaneous implant placement. Lack of clinical and histological studies performed on patients with L-PRF surgeries limited us in choosing a larger group for the radiological analysis. CBCT evaluation was performed before surgery and 6 months after. All patients selected for the study presented good general and oral health, acute oral and sinus infections excluded; smoking and periodontal disease were also criteria of exclusion. Two operators performed the measurements in pre-established landmarks in different time frames. The two independent groups were compared with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for quantitative data. Qualitative characteristics were described as counts and percentages. All analyses were performed in an R environment for statistical computing and graphics. Results. Mean bone height gain in the xenograft group in the regions was as follows: 7.44 for the anterior landmark, 12.14 for the median and 8.28 for the distal. The mean group height gained for the L-PRF group was 0.1 anteriorly, -0.18 for the median measurement, and 0.23 distally. We obtained excellent overall reliability for all the height measurements between the two operators. Conclusions. Further studies must be conducted to establish new sets of surgical protocols in case L-PRF alone is found to be a reliable, stable, biological alternative to the well-documented xenografts in external sinus lifts. Radiological results, although promising, must be further applied in long term clinical survival of the implants in the grafted sites. Also, studies combining L-PRF in conjunction with xenograft might bring improved clinical results in terms of reduced postoperative complications and accelerated healing. ng.
