  • use of the shark fin osteotome in separation of the pterygomaxillary junction in le fort i osteotomy a clinical and computerized tomography study
    International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2002
    Co-Authors: Z Laster, Leon Ardekian, Adi Rachmiel, Micha Peled
    Abstract:

    Le Fort I osteotomy fails in many cases to completely separate the pterygomaxillary junction and often results in fractures of the Pterygoid Bone and the tuberosity, which subsequently can cause complications. The objectives of this study were to describe the specifically developed Laster 'shark-fin' osteotome and to compare its use to other methods of pterygomaxillary dysjunction. Pterygomaxillary dysjunction was performed in 10 adult patients requiring Le Fort I osteotomy. In one randomly chosen side of the maxilla, the Obwegeser osteotome was used, while the Laster 'shark-fin' osteotome was used on the opposite side. A postoperative computerized tomography of the separation at the pterygomaxillary junctions revealed that in all sites treated with the Laster 'shark-fin' osteotome, a complete or almost complete separation was obtained, whereas the use of the Obwegeser osteotome resulted in five sites with fractures of the maxillary tuberosity and three with high-level fractures of the Pterygoid plates (P<0.001). Comparing these findings with the literature, we concluded that the Laster 'shark-fin' osteotome is preferable for separating the pterygomaxillary junction in Le Fort I osteotomy.

  • A Systematic Review of the Role of Implant Design in the Rehabilitation of the Edentulous Maxilla.
    International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants, 2017
    Co-Authors: Asbjørn Jokstad, Mariano Sanz, Takahiro Ogawa, Francesco Bassi, Liran Levin, Ann Wennerberg, Georgios E Romanos
    Abstract:

    Purpose: To identify and critically appraise scientific publications evaluating the possible effect of implant design on treatment outcomes in the rehabilitation of patients with a fully edentulous maxilla. Materials and Methods: Scientific reports were sought in three electronic bibliographic databases, combined with searches for meeting abstracts, and in the grey literature. English, German, or Scandinavian scientific publications on prospective or retrospective longitudinal studies with effects of an implant design or feature on the treatment outcomes were eligible. Minimum requirement for inclusion was at least 10 study participants who were followed up for at least 2 years after implant loading. The PRISMA guidelines were followed for selecting data to extract from the individual studies. These were characteristics of the individual studies, risk of bias within individual studies, and the results of individual studies. Three editorial teams independently identified and extracted the data. Results: The search resulted in 998 primary studies, of which 525 met the inclusion criteria and were read in full text. Of these, 105 studies were included in qualitative syntheses. Seventeen studies were designed with an objective to assess effects of implant design or feature on outcomes, 23 studies described tilted implants to enable placement of longer implants, 30 studies reported effects of implants placed in zygomatic Bone with or without additional alveolar implants, and 9 studies reported effects of implants placed in Pterygoid Bone or other bony buttresses with or without additional alveolar implants. Sixteen articles reported Bone augmentation with simultaneous or delayed implant placement in patients with a predominantly Cawood-Howell Bone class V and VI maxilla. Ten papers reported effects of implant design on outcomes, despite the lack of an a priori stated objective to assess a particular implant design or feature. There is a lack of compelling data to state that one particular implant system or design feature stands out amidst others, when applied to restoring the fully edentulous maxilla with implant-retained prostheses. Conclusion: This systematic review failed to identify compelling evidence to conclude that any particular implant or feature affects the treatment outcome in patients with a fully edentulous maxilla.
