Sinus lift with special drill and same-day implant placement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need between 4 and 6 mm of bone beneath your sinus floor (a thin layer of bone between your mouth and sinus cavity).
- Your sinus must be healthy with no signs of disease on an X-ray.
- You need at least 8 mm of space between your upper and lower teeth to fit the implant.
- You cannot have any serious health condition that interferes with bone healing, like uncontrolled diabetes.
- You must not be a heavy smoker (more than 14 cigarettes per day).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 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 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 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.
This study tests two tools (a magnetic mallet and a special drill) used to lift the sinus floor during dental implant placement in the upper jaw. It may help people who need implants but have limited bone height.
