Stem cell signals to help bone grafts in the upper jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding stem cell signaling molecules to bone graft material helps new bone form in the upper jaw, which could improve the success of dental implants. It is for people with very thin bone in the upper jaw who need sinus lifts on both sides.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 35.
- You have a very thin upper jaw (less than 5 mm of bone height) and need sinus lifts on both sides to support dental implants.
- Your teeth were removed at least 8 weeks ago (if applicable).
- You do not smoke, use illegal drugs, or drink alcohol daily.
- You do not have medical conditions that slow healing (like poorly controlled diabetes, blood disorders, or a weakened immune system) and you have not had radiation to the head or neck.
- You have not taken bisphosphonate medications (like for osteoporosis) and are not allergic to anesthesia.

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 compares two types of bone graft materials — a synthetic bioactive glass and a natural bone substitute (xenograft) — used during a sinus lift procedure to build up bone for a dental implant in the upper jaw. The goal is to see which material helps new bone grow better and more safely.
This study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
This trial tests a way to place dental implants in the upper jaw where bone is thin (4-6 mm height) without needing a bone graft. It uses special self-tapping implants to lift the sinus floor gently through the implant site.
This trial compares two ways to place dental implants in the upper jaw where there is not enough bone: one uses a special clotting substance (PRF) and the other does not. The goal is to see which method works better.
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.
