Short implants for upper jaw sinus lift
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a shorter type of dental implant for people who don't have enough bone in their upper back jaw. It aims to see if these implants work well for supporting teeth without needing a bigger surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least one missing tooth in the upper back area with not enough bone (3-6 mm) for a standard implant.
- You are generally healthy, without major conditions like diabetes or heart disease, and have no sinus problems.
- You are willing to get dental implants and can commit to follow-up visits for at least 3 years.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day.

This study compares two ways to replace missing teeth in the back of the upper jaw: using a very short implant (4 mm) or a slightly longer implant (8 mm) with a bone graft. The goal is to see which approach gives better results and how patients feel afterwards.
This study looks at how well short dental implants (small titanium posts) work over 5 years for replacing a single missing tooth in the back of the upper or lower jaw. It aims to confirm that these implants are a reliable option for patients who may not have enough bone for longer implants.
This trial tests a way to place dental implants in the upper jaw where bone is thin (4-6 mm height) without needing a bone graft. It uses special self-tapping implants to lift the sinus floor gently through the implant site.
This study looks at how well short dental implants work for people whose jawbone has shrunk. It aims to see if these implants can support teeth or dentures safely and effectively.
This study compares two ways to place dental implants in the upper jaw when there isn't much bone. One way uses bone grafting material, the other doesn't. It aims to see which method works better for people with a thin upper jaw.
This study tests a procedure to build up the upper jaw bone for dental implants in people with diabetes. It may help if you need implants for missing upper back teeth and your blood sugar is well-controlled.
