67. How should tears of the sinus membrane be managed during sinus lift?
Tears over corticocancellous grafts will heal. Particulate grafts may be lost if they migrate through per-
forations. Small tears may not pose a problem because the membrane folds over itself as it is lifted. Larger tears should be patched with a material such as Surgicel or Collatape.
68. How much native bone is required for immediate placement of implants with sinus lift?
A minimum of 4 to 5 mm of alveolar bone.
69. What is the proper size of the window for a sinus lift?
The window for a maxillary sinus lift begins at the anterior aspect of the sinus and continues inferiorly
to several millimeters above the sinus floor. The window extends posteriorly approximately 20 mm. The superior osteotomy is approximately 10 to 15 mm above the inferior osteotomy.
70. What is the desired thickness of a split-thickness skin graft (STSG)?
STSGs can be of varying thickness. An STSG is composed of the epidermis layer and part of the der-
mis layer. The STSG can be classified as thin, intermediate, or thick, based on the amount of dermis included. STSGs are between 0.010 and 0.025 inch.
71. Which types of skin grafts contract the most? The least?
The thinner a skin graft, the more the contraction. A thin STSG contracts more than an intermediate
STSG,whichcontractsmorethanathickSTSG.Full-thicknessskingraftshardlycontractatall.
Primary contraction is caused by elastic fibers in the skin graft as soon as it has been cut. This can be overcome when a graft is sutured in place. Secondary contraction begins about postoperative day 10 and continues for up to 6 months.
72. What is plasmic imbibition?
Plasmic imbibition is the process by which a skin graft absorbs a plasma-like fluid from its underlying
recipient bed. It is absorbed into the capillary network by capillary action. This process is the initial means of survival for a skin graft and continues for approximately 48 hours.
73. Does grafted skin most resemble the donor site or the recipient site?
Grafted skin maintains most of its original characteristics, except that sensation and sweating more
closely resemble the recipient site.
74. What are the goals of vestibuloplasty?
Vestibuloplasty, skin grafting, and floor of the mouth lowering increase the depth of the sulcus, which
helps control lateral displacement of a denture. The skin graft also provides attached tissue, which will not be elevated by movement of the lip, cheeks, and tongue, providing a stable denture seating area. Skin grafts provide more comfortable load-bearing tissue than mucosa. The mandibular resorption rate beneath skin is probably slower.
75. What are the possible graft donor sites for vestibuloplasty?
• Skin  • Palatalmucosa  • Buccalmucosa
76. What are the advantages of using a stent to secure a graft in place for a vestibuloplasty?
A stent can be used to adapt the skin with accuracy to any contour in the labiobuccal area and under-
cuts in the lingual area. A stent also provides additional graft stabilization and protects the graft from food in the oral cavity.
77. What are the advantages of suturing a graft in place for a vestibuloplasty?
Patients are more comfortable without the stent. Stent construction and adaptation materials are not
necessary.
78. What is the lip-switch procedure?
The lip-switch procedure is a transpositional flap vestibuloplasty. An incision is made in the labial
mucosa. A thin mucosal flap is elevated, continuing into a supraperiosteal dissection on the anterior aspect of the mandible to the crest of the ridge. The mucosal flap is sutured to the depth of the vestibule covering the anterior aspect of the mandible, and the denuded tissue on the inner surface of the lip heals by secondary intention. A modification transposes the lingually based mucosal flap with an inferiorly based facial periosteal flap.

79. What is submucous vestibuloplasty?
Submucous vestibuloplasty can be used for improvement of the maxillary vestibule in situations in
which the alveolar ridge resorption is not severe but mucosal and muscular attachments exist near the crest of the ridge. Through a midline incision, submucosal and subperiosteal dissections are performed. The tissue between these two tunnels is cut and allowed to retract. A splint is relined and secured in place for 7 to 10 days.
80. How is floor of the mouth lowering performed?
An incision is made on the lingual aspect of the alveolus. A supraperiosteal dissection is carried
inferiorly, and the mylohyoid and genioglossus muscles are sharply dissected from their insertions. No more than half the superior aspect of the genioglossus muscle should be released. The mucosal margins are then sutured to the new depth, either with sutures passed externally or in a circumman­dibular fashion.
81. What is the minimum distance from the inferior border that the mentalis must remain attached, during vestibuloplasty, to prevent a sagging chin?
A minimum of 10 mm of muscular tissue must remain attached to the vestibular periosteum in order
to avoid a sagging chin.

CHAPTER 26
1. What are the different dental implant categories?
Dental implants are divided into three categories based on their relationship to the oral tissues:
1. Subperiosteal
2. Endosteal
3. Transosseous Endosteal implants are subdivided into root-form implants and plate-form or blade implants. Root-
form implants can be smooth, threaded, perforated, and solid or hollow, vented, coated, or textured. Root-form implants are subdivided into the following categories including cylinder implants, screw­designed implants, or combination of screw and cylinder implants. Currently, the most commonly used implants are root-form implants. Only endosseous and transosseous implants are considered true osseointegrated implants.
2. What is osseointegration?
Several definitions have been proposed over the years to describe a successful dental implant in the
human jaw. However, the most inclusive definition to date describes osseointegration as “a process whereby clinically asymptomatic rigid fixation of alloplastic materials is achieved and maintained in bone during functional loading.”
3. What criteria were used to determine the success of an implant before 1986?
Before 1986, the criteria for a successful implant were different from those used today. According
to the 1978 Harvard–National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus conference on implantology, an implant was considered successful despite the presence of one or more of the following clinical features:
• Mobilityof<1mminanydirection  • Bonelossofnomorethanone-thirdoftheverticalheightoftheimplant  • Gingivalinammationamenabletotreatment  • Absenceofsymptoms,suchasinfection,numbness,pain,ormaxillarysinusornasalsymptoms  • Implantfunctionalfor5yearsin75%ofcases
4. What became the criteria for successful implants after 1986?
In 1986, with the introduction of osseointegration, the criteria for successful implants were revised:

5. When are dental implants indicated?
Dental implants are used to achieve rehabilitation of the oral and facial tissue after tooth loss with and
without bone loss, after jaw bone loss due to tumor resection, after tooth loss from trauma, and for partially or completely congenitally missing teeth. More specifically, implants are used to achieve one of the following purposes:

• Atasecondstage(3to6monthslater),theimplantisexposedandanabutmentandtheimplant
are connected to the prosthesis. Consequently, loading of the implant is done only after the implant is osseointegrated. This last principle has changed in the last few years by successfully loading implants immediately after placement with no impact on the success rate.
9. How much space is needed between implants for successful integration?
Imagine that a square box is drawn around the implant. In the buccal-lingual dimension, a minimum of
0.5mmofboneisrequiredaroundtheimplant.Thereforeforastandard3.75-mmimplant,theoperator wouldneedapproximately5mmofboneinthisdimension.Mesiodistally,thesame0.5mmisrequired
for implant survival. Prosthodontically, at least 3 mm is necessary on both sides of the implant to create the proper emergence profile of a restoration. Consequently, the recommendation for distance between implants for single-tooth restoration is 7 mm from the center of one implant to the other.
10. How much space is observed between implant and bone in an osseointegrated
titanium implant?
The chemical properties and the interface chemistry are determined by the oxide layer and not by the metal
oftheimplant.Thereforethedenseoxidefilmofatitaniumimplant,forexample,isabout100Åthick.
11. Describe one-stage placement, two-stage placement, and immediate provisional-
ization of dental implants.
In two-stage implant placement, the implant is placed and submerged for a period of time, and sec-
ondary surgery for uncovering of the implant is necessary. A single-stage implant placement includes placement of a permucosal component, most often a healing abutment, at the time of implant place-
ment.Immediateprovisionalizationinvolvesplacementoftheimplant,placementofatemporaryor
permanent abutment, as well as a restoration.
12. How much is the surface area of an implant increased by increasing the diameter
of an implant compared with increasing its length?

https://t.me/medicina_free
Some authors have shown that increasing the length of an implant to more than 18 mm provides no additional mechanical advantage and possibly increases the incidence of failure rate because of the difficulty of adequately irrigating during the preparation of the site.
13. What major anatomic structures in the maxilla can affect implant placement? How can these problems be overcome?
Intheposteriormaxilla,apneumatizationofthemaxillarysinuscanresultinadecreaseintheavail-
able bone in this region. This deficiency can be overcome by bone grafting of this region. If the inter­arch space is adequate for restoration (implant-to-crown ratio), a sinus-lift bone graft procedure is indicated. However, if there is an excessive interarch space, onlay bone graft with or without sinus-lift procedure is a better choice. Distraction osteogenesis both to increase the bone height and to close the interarch space is another option when there is an increased interarch space.
In the anterior maxilla, bony defects are occasionally observed on the buccal surface, caused either by traumatic extraction or by buccal concavity around the apical one-third of the root. These defects must be treated before or during implant placement. Angulation of the implant to engage existing bone often will result in an implant that is unable to receive a direct axial load and will be more prone to failure after a restoration is placed.
14. What major anatomic structures in the mandible can affect implant placement? How can these problems be overcome?
In the posterior mandible, the inferior alveolar nerve is one of the most common impediments to
implantplacement.Frequently,thereisinsufficientboneheighttoplaceevenan11.5-mmimplant intheposteriormandiblewithouttheriskofnerveinjury.Remediesforthisproblemdependmostly

space,thenervemustbesurgicallyrepositioned(lateralized)togainadequatebonelengthtoachieve
a proper crown-to-root ratio and anchorage for the implant. If there is excessive interarch space, onlay bone grafting or distraction osteogenesis should be considered to gain vertical bone height and decrease the interarch space before implant placement.
The lingual concavity of the mandible in the posterior and anterior regions is another anatomic area to be considered during placement of mandibular implants. Computed tomography (CT) or plain tomography should be considered if there is any question as to whether an implant can be placed
withoutperforatingtheconcavityandriskingimplantfailureordamagetothelingualnerve.
15. Is it necessary to have attached gingiva when placing implants?
Ideally, implants are more easily maintained if an adequate cuff (1 to 2 mm) of attached tissue is left
around the restoration. This does not mean, however, that attached tissue is necessary at the time of placement. In the edentulous mandible, there is often a paucity of attached tissue at the time of placement, and most patients have high mentalis muscle attachments that extend to the crest of the remaining alveolus. At the time of placement, or at a later time but before uncovering the implant in a
two-stageimplantsystem,measurescanbetakentolowerthesemuscleattachments(lip-switchor
other vestibuloplasty procedures) to gain immobile tissue.
16. What are some tests to evaluate osseointegration at the time of implant uncovering?
Torque testing can be done to test for osseointegration at the time of implant uncovering. Ideally, one
shouldbeabletoplaceaforceof10to20Ncmwithoutunscrewinganimplantifitissuccessfullyosseo­integrated. Other clinical subjective signs of integration are percussion and immobility when placing a

Resonance frequency analysis is an easy, reliable, and noninvasive means of measuring implant stability. The resonance frequency value is measured using a transducer that is mounted directly on the fixture and displays the result as the implant stability quotient (ISQ). The ISQ is between 1 and
100,withahighervalueindicatingincreasedresonancefrequencyandstabilityoftheimplant.
17. What methods are used to uncover implants? Can a laser or electrocautery be used?

18. What preoperative radiographs are necessary for adequate work-up before implant placement?
Panoramic and periapical radiographs are helpful and necessary, although they offer no informa-
tion regarding the internal anatomy of the alveolar process or residual ridge. In addition, they do not permit accurate three-dimensional superimposition of a clinically verified radiopaque template, which can be used as a surgical guide. Multiplanar reformatted CT can be used to obtain this infor­mation if it cannot be obtained easily by a combination of conventional radiographic techniques and clinical exam.
19. Are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT scans contraindicated in a patient with dental implants?
MRI and CT scans are not contraindicated in patients with pure titanium implants. Most CT scanners
can subtract titanium and other metals from the image and eliminate the scatter images.
20. Can you name some risk factors that may increase the failure rate and complica­tions of implant placement?

Dosimetry reports, which can provide information regarding the dose received in specific areas, can often be obtained from the patient’s radiation oncologist. This information is extremely valuable in treatment planning location of implants and prevention of implant failure as well as osteoradionecrosis.

32. What factors should be considered when using cement versus screw-retained provisionals?

34. What are some implant options for treatment of the edentulous maxilla and mandible?
Placement of at least four implants in the anterior maxilla is recommended for an implant-retained
overdenture, as fewer than four implants will not resist the forces placed upon them. Implants are ide­ally placed bilaterally in the canine region and in the second premolar region to provide adequate A-P spread. Additional implants should be considered at the central incisor, lateral incisor, or incisive canal
foradditionalretention,especiallygiventhatfailureofoneoutoffourimplantsmaylikelycompromise

If the patient desires a palateless prosthesis, six to eight implants may be placed and restored with a fixed implant-supported or removable prosthesis. Implants must be placed posteriorly for support. Maxillary sinus grafting may be indicated in these patients. Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans can provide the necessary information including bony architecture, possible need for sinus or ridge aug­mentation, status of the sinus membrane, and presence of septae. A surgical guide constructed based on both adequate bone to accommodate the implants as well as the design of the planned restoration should be used to facilitate proper placement of the implants.

35. Are antibiotics indicated when placing a single implant?
A single preoperative dose of systemic antibiotic has been shown to reduce implant failure rate when
controlled with a placebo group that did not receive an antibiotic. Systemic antibiotics have not, however, demonstrated a significant difference in infection rate. Existing studies have been unable to demonstrate a significant difference in prevention of implant failure or postoperative infection with various postoperative antibiotic regimens.

common bacteria species found are anaerobic, gram-negative rods. Common organisms include Porphyromonas gingivalis, Porphyromonas intermedia, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
Commonly used treatment modalities include antiseptic treatment, systemic antibiotics, mechanical debridement, and guided tissue regeneration.

combined with Amoxicillin.
There have been several techniques proposed for decontamination of the implant surface during debridement and regenerative procedures. Chlorhexidine gluconate application has been described and has produced variable results. Diode laser decontamination as an adjunct to conventional treatment of periimplantitis has been shown to increase implant survival. The air-powder abrasive

compromised hard and soft tissue anatomy should alert the clinician to explore the possibility of an immediately loaded restorative option.
Patient-related factors that would compromise either implant stability or wound healing must be
considered.Examplesofthesefactorsincludeosteoporosis,diabetes,heavysmoking(>20cigarettes/ day),headandneckradiation,currentchemotherapyorsteroids,treatmentwithbisphosphonatesor
other antiresorptive agents, and parafunctional habits such as bruxism or clenching. Quality of the bone will also determine implant success as the dense type II bone of the anterior mandible increases primary stability and success in immediate loading.
Implantsofatleast10mminlengtharerecommendedwhenimmediateloadingisconsidered.
A minimum of four implants in the anterior mandible is required. If only four implants are to be used, the posteriormost implants may be angled posteriorly to avoid the inferior alveolar nerve and

occur. If possible, additional implants should be considered as they provide the advantages of superior load distribution among implants, and extra support should one or more of the implants not obtain adequate primary stability at insertion and require submergence or removal that may eliminate the possibility of immediate loading.
A minimum of six implants for a maxillary fixed implant-supported prosthesis is required. Ideally, additional implants are placed given the decreased bone quality found in the maxilla. As with the man­dible, posterior cantilevers should be avoided, and additional implants should be included if possible.
