Sinus bone graft and dental implants for some people with diabetes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies a dental procedure to add bone in the upper jaw (near the sinus) so implants can be placed. It may help people with diabetes who have missing upper back teeth and enough jaw width but not enough bone height.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 20 years old.
- You have insulin-dependent diabetes and your blood sugar is under 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).
- You have missing upper back teeth (upper jaw, near the back of the mouth).
- Your remaining upper-jaw bone height is between 4 and 7 mm, and the jaw width is at least 6.5 mm.
- You have teeth in your lower jaw that meet (contact) when you bite.
- You cannot have reasons you shouldn’t get dental implants, active infection where the implant would go, or uncontrolled gum disease (like progressive periodontitis).

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 a new type of bone graft putty for people who need a sinus lift before getting dental implants. It may be an option if you have some existing bone and are generally healthy or have well-controlled diabetes.
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 procedure called a lateral sinus lift to build up bone in the upper jaw before placing dental implants. It is for people who are missing multiple teeth in the back of the upper jaw and have minimal remaining bone height.
This trial tests if adding parathyroid hormone to a bone graft improves bone growth in the upper jaw before placing dental implants. It may help people who have lost teeth and have very little bone in the sinus area.
This trial compares two bone-grafting materials for sinus lifts when placing dental implants in the upper jaw. It aims to find which method works best for people who don't have enough bone height.
