A gentler sinus lift technique for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, gentler way to lift the sinus floor so that dental implants can be placed in the upper jaw. It may help people who don't have enough bone height for standard implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing upper back teeth and need dental implants.
- Your bone height in the upper jaw is between 5 and 7 millimetres (measured on a CT scan).
- You have good oral hygiene.
- You do not have an active sinus infection or sinus disease.
- You have not taken bone-affecting medications (like bisphosphonates) in the past year.
- You are not a heavy smoker and have no major health conditions that could slow healing.

This study compares two techniques to lift the sinus floor and place dental implants at the same time in people with limited bone height. It aims to find which method is more effective and comfortable for patients.
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 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 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 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.
