Custom ceramic membrane for sinus lift with implant
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a custom zirconia (ceramic) membrane used during a sinus lift procedure to place a dental implant in the upper jaw when there isn't enough bone. The goal is to help people with severe bone loss get implants successfully.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing upper back teeth and have less than 6 mm of bone there (the usual amount needed for an implant is higher).
- You are in good overall health or have only mild, well-controlled health issues that your doctor says are okay for surgery.
- Your sinuses are free from infection or disease.
- The gum areas where the implant will go are healthy, with no swelling, sores, or scars.
- You have enough space in your mouth between your upper and lower teeth for the new crown.
- You do not smoke, are not pregnant or nursing, and have not had radiation therapy to your head or neck in the past year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new combination of materials (erythropoietin, albumin, and platelet-rich fibrin) to help rebuild bone in the upper jaw during a sinus lift procedure. If you need a dental implant but have limited bone height, this approach may allow the implant to be placed at the same time as the lift.
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 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.
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 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.
