Short dental implants for sinus lift cases
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests the use of short dental implants (called Astra Tech EV Short) to replace missing upper back teeth when the bone is too thin for a normal implant. It may help people who need a sinus lift but want a shorter, simpler procedure.
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 upper back tooth area where the bone is only 3 to 6 mm tall
- You are generally healthy with no major diseases like diabetes or heart problems, and no sinus issues
- You are willing to get a dental implant and can come back for checkups for at least 3 years

This trial tests a technique to rebuild bone in the upper jaw at the back (premolar and molar areas) during dental implant placement. It may be a good option if you have low bone height but enough bone width for the procedure.
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 trial compares very short (4 mm) implants to slightly longer (8 mm) implants with a bone graft in the back upper jaw. It aims to see which option works better for holding a dental bridge, potentially avoiding a sinus lift procedure.
This trial tests two different ways to lift the sinus floor to make room for a dental implant in the upper jaw. It may be an option if you are missing a back tooth and have enough bone height.
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.
