Less invasive sinus lift for upper back teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to lift the sinus floor to help support an upper back tooth area when the tooth cannot be rebuilt. It may help people who need bone support for a future dental restoration or implant by using a specific, less invasive pathway.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Your gum health scores (plaque and bleeding) must each be under 30%
- Your upper sinus area must curve inward near the gum/space between roots of the upper first molar
- Your upper first molar must be not restorable, and the remaining bone between the roots must be under 5 mm
- You must not have a medical condition that makes this procedure unsafe
- You cannot be pregnant

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.
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 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 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 compares two surgical methods to help place dental implants in the upper back jaw when there isn’t enough bone height. It may help you and your dentist choose the safest approach to create enough support for the implant.
This trial tests a new, gentler way to lift the sinus floor so that dental implants can be placed in the upper jaw. It may help people who don't have enough bone height for standard implants.
