Bone-building vs sinus lift for delayed dental implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have missing teeth in the upper back (partially missing), with the gap after a tooth extraction that’s been more than 4 months
- Your age is 18 to 40
- Your pre-op CBCT scan shows your upper back jaw bone height is about 4 to 6 mm
- You’ve never had sinus area surgery or radiation treatment on your maxillary sinus
- You are in generally good health (ASA 1 or 2)

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 new method to help people who have lost bone in the upper jaw get dental implants. If your jawbone is too thin, they will use a small titanium mesh to support the sinus lining and make room for an implant.
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 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.
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.
