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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how many small openings (perforations) are made in the sinus floor during a sinus lift procedure, to see which approach helps form more new bone. You might consider it if you need sinus floor elevation on both sides for dental bone support.
This study tests a new bone graft material for sinus lifts, a procedure to add bone in the upper jaw so dental implants can be placed. It may help people who are missing bone in the back of their upper jaw due to enlarged sinuses.
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 trial tests a technique to rebuild bone in the upper jaw at the back (premolar and molar areas) during dental implant placement. It may be a good option if you have low bone height but enough bone width for the procedure.
