Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate and compare the reported sinusitis occurrence after the sinus lift procedure and zygomatic implant placement.
Methods
This meta-analysis has been registered at PROSPERO. Studies were searched on six databases. Two authors screened titles and abstracts and fully analyzed the studies against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The RoB 2.0 and the ROBINS-I tools were used to assess the quality and risk of bias of the included studies. The random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis. The prevalence of sinusitis was calculated based on the total of patients. Subgroup analysis was performed by sinus lift or zygomatic implant surgery technique.
Results
The search identified 2419 references. After applying the inclusion criteria, 18 sinus lift and 9 zygomatic implant placement studies were considered eligible. The pooled prevalence of sinusitis after sinus lift procedure was 1.11% (95% CI 0.30–2.28). The prevalence after zygomatic implant placement was 3.76% (95% CI 0.12–10.29). In the subgroup analysis, the lateral window approach showed a prevalence of sinusitis of 1.35% (95% CI 0.34–2.8), the transcrestal technique of 0.00% (95% CI 0.00–3.18), and the SALSA technique of 1.20% (95% CI 0.00–5.10). Regarding the techniques for zygomatic implant placement, the sinus slot technique showed a prevalence of 21.62% (95% CI 9.62–36.52) and the intrasinus technique of 4.36% (95% CI 0.33–11.08), and the prevalence after the extrasinus technique was 0.00% (95% CI 0.00–1.22).
Conclusion
The sinusitis occurrence rate was higher after zygomatic implant placement than after sinus lift procedure and this occurrence was different depending on the used technique.
