Sinus bone lift procedure for people with limited jaw bone
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This pilot study tests a modified technique to add bone in the upper jaw area (the sinus floor) so dental implants may be possible. You may be considered if you have a small amount of remaining bone height and enough bone width, and you do not have certain infections or risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have remaining jaw bone height of 3 to 6 millimeters in the treatment area
- You have remaining jaw bone width greater than 4 millimeters in the treatment area
- Your gum/periodontal disease has been treated (you have received treatment for it)
- You do not smoke more than 5 cigarettes per day
- You do not have sinus infection (no acute or chronic sinusitis)

This study tests a two-stage method to build up bone in the upper jaw for dental implants using either donor bone or a mix of your own bone and donor bone. It may help people with very little bone in the back of the upper jaw get implants successfully.
This study tests a surgery to build up bone in the upper jaw where teeth are missing. It may help people who need more bone to get dental implants later.
This study compares two ways to build up bone in the upper jaw for dental implants. You may qualify if you need a sinus lift and have healthy gums and overall health.
This trial tests a new type of bone graft material for opening the upper-jaw sinus to make room for dental implants. It is for people with very little bone in the back of the upper jaw who need implants for missing teeth.
This study tests two ways to do a sinus lift to prepare the upper jaw for a dental implant. One method uses a special ultrasound-like tool, and the other uses a simple drill approach. The goal is to see which method gives better implant stability, which may help your implant last longer.
This trial tests a new way to lift the sinus floor using a special drill and a surgical guide, placing a dental implant at the same time. It may help people who need an implant in the upper jaw but don't have enough bone height.
