Post-operative maxillary cyst associated with a maxillary sinus elevation procedure: a case report.

Proper diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical manipulation of the posterior maxilla require a thorough knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology associated with the maxillary sinus. This case report of a post-operative maxillary cyst diagnosed following routine post-operative examination of a sinus elevation procedure illustrates the need for a meticulous surgical technique, proper management of complications, and routine, long-term follow-up. With the increased utilization of sinus elevation techniques, reports of this destructive lesion may become more common.

Interface analysis of hydroxyapatite-coated implants in a human vascularized iliac bone graft.

This case report demonstrates the interface histology of hydroxyapatite-coated dental implants placed in a human vascularized iliac bone graft. Microscopic evaluation found a direct contact of lamellar bone to the implant surface even in areas of loose trabeculation. The hydroxyapatite coating was intact, with no evidence of resorption. This study appears to show that the healing response to hydroxyapatite-coated implants placed in vascularized bone grafts is similar to previously reported findings in nongrafted sites.

Comparison of intraoral donor sites for onlay grafting prior to implant placement.

Fifty patients with inadequate bone volume for implant placement were treated with mandibular bone grafts from the symphysis or ramus. The choice of donor site was determined by defect morphology and recipient site location. Although the harvest of bone was associated with low morbidity, the ramus donor site resulted in fewer complications. Implants were placed secondarily following a 4- to 6-month healing period. The onlay grafts exhibited minimal resorption and maintained their dense quality. The symphysis grafts were larger in overall volume, with a corticocancellous morphology. The ramus area provided essentially a cortical graft that was well suited for veneering ridge deficiencies; however, the surgical access in some cases was more difficult than in the anterior mandible.
