Abstract
-
AIM: To assess the efficacy of cyanoacrylate adhesive in the management of large perforations of the maxillary sinus membrane during sinus lifts.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight rabbits were used in the study. Sinus membrane perforation(about 1.5cm) was repaired with cyanoacrylate adnesive on one side of the maxillary sinus and the opppsite side was used as a control. Histological evaluation was performed 4 weeks after the operation.
RESULTS
Histological studies showed normal healing of the sinus membrane across the site of previous perforation and no evidence of inflammation.
CONCLUSION
Our results support the clinical use of cynoacrylate adhesive for repairing sinus membrane perforation.
