Introduction and importance: The study aimed to present the long-term results of autologous and homologous micrografts for bone regeneration aimed at positioning dental implants after sinus lift augmentation surgeries, by combining autologous Rigenera® micrografts with poly(lactic-go-glycolic acid). Case presentation: A total of 5 patients (2 males and 3 females) from 36 to 71 years were involved in the observational study. All the patients showed a good health status system (ASA1 and 2), according to their clinical history with neither system diseases, nor under medication able to interfere with osseointegration. Clinical discussion: The radiographic evaluations, after the implant placement and during the continuous follow-up upto 7 years, were carried out through periapical endoral x-rays. The survival and implant success rate was 100 %. Histological analyses were performed after 3 and 7 months after the surgical procedure. Conclusion: No adverse events have been observed that can be traced back to the use of autologous micrografts with poly(lactic-go-glycolic acid), showing safety and predictable results even in long term.

Abstract

Introduction and importance: The study aimed to present the long-term results of autologous and homologous micrografts for bone regeneration aimed at positioning dental implants after sinus lift augmentation surgeries, by combining autologous Rigenera® micrografts with poly(lactic-go-glycolic acid). Case presentation: A total of 5 patients (2 males and 3 females) from 36 to 71 years were involved in the observational study. All the patients showed a good health status system (ASA1 and 2), according to their clinical history with neither system diseases, nor under medication able to interfere with osseointegration. Clinical discussion: The radiographic evaluations, after the implant placement and during the continuous follow-up upto 7 years, were carried out through periapical endoral x-rays. The survival and implant success rate was 100 %. Histological analyses were performed after 3 and 7 months after the surgical procedure. Conclusion: No adverse events have been observed that can be traced back to the use of autologous micrografts with poly(lactic-go-glycolic acid), showing safety and predictable results even in long term.
