Sinus lift study: comparing two dental implant techniques
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a missing tooth (or teeth) in the upper jaw that needs an implant, and at least 6 months have passed since you lost that tooth.
- You have between 3 and 5 mm of bone height remaining in the sinus area.
- Your sinus lining (Schneider membrane) is no thicker than 5 mm on a CT scan.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA 1 or 2).
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, and you are not pregnant.
- You have not had any previous bone grafting in the area being operated on.

This study compares two techniques to lift the sinus floor and place dental implants at the same time in people with limited bone height. It aims to find which method is more effective and comfortable for patients.
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 tests different ways of doing a sinus lift (adding bone to the upper jaw) and placing a dental implant at the same time, using a personalized surgical guide. The goal is to see which method gives better bone support around the implant, which may help the implant last longer and feel more stable.
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 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.
This study looks at two different ways to do sinus lifts (adding bone to the upper jaw) to find out which works better for holding dental implants. If you had this surgery and your implant is doing well, you might be eligible to join.
