| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) is used in orthopedics as a supplementary therapy to promote healing of pathological and traumatic fractures, and it has also been used in dental implant surgery. Little research exists on the effects of ultrasound on maxillary sinus augmentation, and the mechanism involved is unclear. The results suggest that clinical application of LIPUS for sinus augmentation may promote new bone formation and that LIPUS enhances cell proliferation related to newly formed bone at 1 week following maxillary sinus augmentation and that this effect is greater at a frequency of 1 MHz than at 3 MHz.This research suggests that LIPUS may affects the distance from osteoblastic cell to the LIPUS probe.
