Evaluation of the Efficacy of the HaeNaem Zero Bone Loss Kit in Indirect Sinus Lift Using Osseodensification.

Abstract

Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate alveolar height at the antral floor following dental implant placement after an indirect sinus lift using osseodensification (OD) with the HaeNaem bur system. Materials and methods A total of 12 patients seeking implant rehabilitation in the maxillary posterior region were selected for the study. Preoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) was performed to measure the residual crestal bone height (RCBH). Patients with an RCBH of 6-8 mm were included in the study. The HaeNaem Zero Bone Loss bur kit was utilized to create an osteotomy site through OD, accompanied by a simultaneous indirect sinus lift. Postoperative CBCT was obtained after four months to assess the difference in bone height and implant stability following implant placement. Results In our study, we performed a comparison of the alveolar ridge height before and after the procedure among the study participants using a paired t-test. This analysis revealed statistically significant differences (p-value <0.01) between the measurements taken before and after the procedure, indicating that the intervention yields effective results. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it can be inferred that the indirect sinus lift procedure utilizing the OD technique with the HaeNaem Zero Bone Loss bur kit presents an effective treatment alternative for cases with insufficient bone height in the posterior maxilla. This approach is particularly advantageous when considering the increased financial feasibility of treatment options or in situations where advanced and/or time-consuming complex surgeries are contraindicated.
