Maxillary sinus membrane thickening and obstruction of ostium associated with presence of peri-implantitis in posterior implants: Study
Maxillary sinus membrane thickening and obstruction of ostium associated with presence of peri-implantitis in posterior implants suggests a study published in the Clinical Oral Implant Research.
The objective of this study is to investigate the association of peri-implantitis (PI) and sinus membrane thickening and to assess the resolution of membrane thickening following intervention (implant removal or peri-implantitis treatment) aimed at arresting PI. Forty-five patients with 61 implants in the posterior maxillary region were retrospectively included in the study. Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with peri-implantitis (PI) and 21 had peri-implant health (PH). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were evaluated to assess maxillary sinus characteristics, including membrane thickening, sinus occupancy and ostium patency. The CBCT scans taken 6 months after intervention aimed at arresting disease (implant removal or treatment of PI) in the PI group were also appraised and compared to baseline scans. Results: At baseline, all parameters evaluating membrane thickness disorders yielded significant differences between groups (p < .001). Patients with posterior maxillary implants diagnosed with PI were 7× more likely to present membrane thickening compatible with pathology when compared to patients with healthy implants (OR = 7.14; p = .005). Furthermore, the likelihood was 6x greater in implants diagnosed with PI to exhibit moderate membrane thickening (OR = 6.75, p = .001). The patients receiving interventions aimed at arresting PI experienced significant enhancement in all radiographic parameters related to the sinus cavity at the 6-month follow-up (p < .001), though these variations were similarly independent of whether treatment consisted of PI treatment or implant removal. Maxillary sinus membrane thickening and the permeability/obstruction of the ostium are frequently associated with the presence of PI in posterior implants. Interventions targeting disease resolution effectively reduce membrane thickness to levels compatible with maxillary sinus health.
