Comparing two sinus lift surgery techniques
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods for lifting the sinus membrane to add bone for dental implants. It may help if you have very little bone left in your upper jaw back teeth area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing one or more upper back teeth on one side
- You have very little bone height (3 mm or less) in that area
- You do not have serious health problems like uncontrolled diabetes or gum disease
- You have not had radiation or chemotherapy to the head or neck
- You smoke no more than 10 cigarettes a day

This study looks at two different ways to lift the sinus floor before placing a dental implant in the upper back jaw. Doctors want to see which method works better over time, helping patients keep their implants strong and healthy.
This study compares two methods for lifting the sinus floor to place dental implants. It is for people who need an implant in the upper jaw but don't have enough bone height. The goal is to see which technique works better.
This trial tests two different ways to lift the sinus floor to make room for a dental implant in the upper jaw. It may be an option if you are missing a back tooth and have enough bone height.
This trial tests two different bone graft materials (one is pure collagen, the other is collagen-enriched) for a procedure called sinus elevation, which builds up bone in the upper jaw so dental implants can be placed. It may help you if you need this type of bone grafting and are generally healthy.
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 study compares two ways to lift the sinus floor and place multiple dental implants at the same time when there is only a small amount of bone (4-5 mm) under the sinus. One method uses a rotating tool to gently shape the bone, the other uses a tapping tool. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and patient comfort.
