A examine was carried out to check the scientific efficiency of single crowns within the posterior maxilla supported by 11 mm lengthy implants mixed with maxillary sinus flooring augmentation (MSFA) or by 6 mm lengthy implants over a 10-year follow-up interval. .

Topics have been randomly assigned to obtain one 11 mm lengthy implant together with MFSA or to obtain one 6 mm lengthy implant with none transplant. Twenty-one implants in 20 sufferers have been positioned within the 6 mm group and 20 implants in 18 sufferers have been positioned within the 11 mm group. Each teams have been adopted by scientific and radiographic examinations for as much as 10 years. Affected person satisfaction was additionally scored earlier than remedy.

Outcomes

Two sufferers died and eight sufferers moved throughout follow-up. Two sufferers misplaced an implant within the 6 mm group and one implant was misplaced within the 11 mm group (implant survival 89.5% and 90.9%, respectively). From loading to 10 years of follow-up, the imply ± SE marginal bone loss within the 6-mm group and the 11-mm group have been 0.18 ± 0.10 mm and 0.26 ± 0.12 mm, respectively, with no important distinction between the teams after 10 years. (p=.650). In each teams, the index scores for plaque, calculus, gingiva and bleeding have been low, as was the imply pocket probe depth. Affected person satisfaction after 10 years was excessive in each teams; the imply general satisfaction within the 6 mm group and the 11 mm group was 9.6 ± 0.6 and 9.2 ± 0.8, respectively (p = 0.168).

Placement of 6 mm implants or mixed 11 mm MFSA implants are equally profitable over a 10-year follow-up interval when used to help a single restoration.
