Predicting complications in maxillary sinus lift for dental implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors might lead to problems during a sinus lift procedure for dental implants in the upper jaw. It aims to help dentists better plan for patients who have less than 6mm of bone height.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to get dental implants in your upper jaw where there is less than 6mm of bone left.
- You should be in good general health with no conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or osteoporosis that could slow bone healing.
- You must not have had chronic sinusitis or other major sinus problems.
- You cannot have severe gum disease.

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 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 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 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.
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 study tests two ways to do a sinus lift to prepare the upper jaw for a dental implant. One method uses a special ultrasound-like tool, and the other uses a simple drill approach. The goal is to see which method gives better implant stability, which may help your implant last longer.
