Abstract
This work aims to investigate the effect of stripping of steep sheep maxillary sinus by using 0.012 or 0.014 model new-type memory elastic silk sleeve stripper and umbrella stripper. Goats with sinus floor gradients of 60° to 90° were selected by computed tomography of sheep head. A total of 72 animal models were established and randomized into three groups (n=24): group A (0.012 model), B (0.014 model) and C (umbrella stripper). Alveolar and maxillary sinus mucosa were stripped after crowning, and stripping length was measured when the stripping limit was reached or mucosal perforation occurred. The average stripping length of mucosa in group A was 11.3 mm±4.6 mm, and three cases experienced perforation of sinus floor mucosa. The average stripping length of mucosa in group B was 17.5 mm±5.0 mm, and one case experienced perforation of sinus floor mucosa. The average stripping length of mucosa in group C was 4.2 mm±1.3 mm, and four cases experienced perforation of sinus floor mucosa. The difference among the three groups was statistically significant (P<0.01) according to variance analysis. Moreover, the comparison between any two means was also statistically significant according to Dunnett's T3 test (P<0.05). The new-type memory elastic silk sleeve stripper effectively stripped steep maxillary sinus mucosa. The 0.014 model exhibited superior peeling effect and was relatively safe.
