Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the preference profiles of periodontists and oral, dental and maxillofacial (ODM) surgeons regarding graft and membrane biomaterials used in sinus augmentation and horizontal/vertical augmentation procedures.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 180 specialists in ODM Surgery (n = 90) and Periodontology (n = 90) who were employed in state institutions or the private sector between February 2021 and August 2021. The surveys collected demographic data and information on various factors, including specialty, years of experience as a specialist, the number of implants placed in the past year, the proportion of patients requiring hard tissue augmentation, and the types of biomaterials and barrier membranes used in sinus and horizontal/vertical augmentation procedures.
Results: The mean age of participants was 33.7 ± 6.3 years and 55.6% were male. Both specialties demonstrated a preference for xenografts and absorbable membranes in sinus augmentation, with an increasing tendency as specialty experience grew. Periodontists more frequently used xenografts for horizontal augmentation, whereas ODM surgeons showed a higher preference for autogenous grafts in vertical augmentation. The use of combined grafting techniques in both horizontal and vertical augmentation procedures increased significantly with experience. There was a tendency to use autogenous grafts in horizontal augmentation as experience increased.
Conclusion: This study indicate that xenografts and absorbable membranes are the most commonly used materials, with preference patterns influenced by both specialty type and years of experience. Additionally, increasing experience is associated with a greater tendency toward using autogenous grafts and combined grafting techniques.

Farklı uzmanlık alanlarına göre dental implant cerrahisinde sert doku ogmentasyon materyallerinin kullanım sıklığının değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı periodontistlerin ve ağız, diş ve çene (ADÇ) cerrahlarının sinüs artırma ve yatay/dikey artırma prosedürlerinde kullanılan greft ve membran biyomalzemelerine ilişkin tercih profillerini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya Şubat ve Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında devlet kurumlarında veya özel sektörde çalışan ADÇ (n = 90) ve Periodontoloji (n = 90) alanında uzman 180 kişi katılmıştır. Anketler aracılığıyla demografik verileri ve uzmanlık alanı, uzman olarak deneyim yılları, geçen yıl yerleştirilen implant sayısı, sert doku artırma gerektiren hasta oranı ve sinüs ve yatay/dikey artırma prosedürlerinde kullanılan biyomalzeme ve bariyer membran türleri dahil olmak üzere çeşitli faktörlere ilişkin bilgiler toplanmıştır.
Sonuçlar: Katılımcıların medyan yaşı 32,0 yıldı ve %55,6'sı erkekti. Her iki uzmanlık dalı da sinüs ogmentasyonda ksenograftlar ve emilebilir membranlara yönelik bir tercih gösterdi ve uzmanlık deneyimi arttıkça bu tercih de arttı. Periodontistler yatay ogmentasyonda için daha sık ksenograft kullanırken, ADÇ cerrahları dikey ogmentasyonda otojen greftlere daha fazla tercih gösterdi. Hem yatay hem de dikey ogmentasyon prosedürlerinde kombine greft tekniklerinin kullanımı deneyimle birlikte önemli ölçüde arttı. Deneyim arttıkça yatay ogmentasyon otojen greft kullanma eğilimi vardı.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma ksenograft ve emilebilir membranların en yaygın kullanılan malzemeler olduğunu ve tercih modellerinin hem uzmanlık türünden hem de deneyim yıllarından etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Ek olarak, artan deneyim otojen greft ve kombine greft tekniklerini kullanma eğiliminin artmasıyla ilişkilidir.
