Comparing two sinus lift methods for dental implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to lift the sinus floor above your upper back teeth (maxillary molar area).
- The sinus lift was done either by a side approach (translateral) or a through-the-socket approach (hydraulic transcrestal).
- You got a dental implant placed at the same time as the sinus lift.
- Your implant was still firmly attached to the bone six months after surgery.
- You had a special 3D X-ray (CBCT) before surgery, on the day of surgery, and six months after surgery.
- Your surgery was performed between January 2016 and June 2024.

This study compares two ways to build up bone in the upper jaw for dental implants. You may qualify if you need a sinus lift and have healthy gums and overall health.
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 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 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 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.
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.
