Aim of the Study
This study aimed to evaluate how effective a special surgical guide is in reducing complications during and after a lateral sinus lift operation, which is often needed for dental implants.
Study Overview
Fourteen patients needing thirty dental implants in the upper jaw participated in this study. They all had issues with bone height. The patients were divided into two groups:
- Study Group: Used a 3D printed surgical guide for the procedure.
- Control Group: The procedure was done without a guide.
Both groups underwent the same sinus lift procedure, and their progress was monitored using advanced imaging techniques.
Results
Both groups had high success rates for the dental implants, with no significant differences in complications. However, there were some notable findings:
- After two days, the study group reported less pain compared to the control group.
- The study group experienced more moderate to severe swelling, while the control group had more mild swelling.
Conclusion
The study concluded that using the surgical guide did not lead to significant differences in overall outcomes compared to the traditional method. Both methods were effective.
Opportunities for Clinics and Patients
Based on the trial data, clinics can:
- Set clear goals for patient outcomes, such as reducing pain and swelling.
- Implement AI tools to track and analyze patient recovery.
- Start pilot projects to test new methods and track results effectively.
