Single-step sinus and dental surgery for tooth-related sinusitis
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a combined procedure to fix sinus infections caused by tooth problems. If you have chronic sinusitis from a dental issue that hasn't improved with other treatments, this surgery might help by addressing both the tooth and sinus in one operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have sinusitis that comes from a tooth problem (odontogenic maxillary sinusitis).
- Your sinusitis has not gotten better with dental or medical treatments.
- Both an ear-nose-throat (ENT) doctor and a dentist or oral surgeon agree the cause is from a tooth.
- A CT scan shows bone loss around the tooth root and a link between the tooth and sinus.
- You have not had sinus surgery before.
- You do not have sinus cancer or sinusitis from other causes.

This study tests whether balloon sinuplasty works better or more efficiently for people with long-lasting or repeatedly returning inflammation in the maxillary sinuses (side sinuses near your cheeks). It focuses on people who did not improve with the usual nose spray (topical steroid) or who meet specific “recurrent” episode patterns.
This trial looks at patients who need surgery for problems limited only to the maxillary sinus (a space behind your cheek). It aims to learn more about these specific sinus lesions.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques to open the frontal sinuses in people with chronic sinusitis. The goal is to see which approach works better to help patients breathe easier and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether doctors can safely remove tumors in the sinuses and nasal passages using minimally invasive endoscopic surgery (a thin camera and instruments passed through the nose) rather than open surgery. If your tumor is in a difficult location, this approach might mean less pain and faster recovery.
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.
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.
