Magnesium pins for sinus lift membrane fixation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests small magnesium pins that dissolve over time, used to hold a membrane in place during a sinus lift procedure to build up bone for dental implants. It may help people who don't have enough bone in their upper jaw to get implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 21 years old.
- You are missing one or more upper back teeth (premolars or molars) on one or both sides.
- You don't have enough bone in your upper jaw to place a dental implant, so you need a procedure called sinus floor elevation to add bone first.
- You smoke no more than 9 cigarettes per day.
- You have not had radiation therapy to your face or jaw area.
- You do not have a bone disease (like osteoporosis) or take medications that affect bone, and you are not pregnant or have certain other health conditions.

This study tests two tools (a magnetic mallet and a special drill) used to lift the sinus floor during dental implant placement in the upper jaw. It may help people who need implants but have limited 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 tests a new type of bone graft putty for people who need a sinus lift before getting dental implants. It may be an option if you have some existing bone and are generally healthy or have well-controlled diabetes.
This study tests biodegradable magnesium plates and screws that dissolve over time in jaw surgery. They might offer a safe alternative that disappears after the bone heals, potentially reducing long-term issues.
This study tests a special blood-based gel to help build up bone in the upper jaw, making room for dental implants. It may help people who don't have enough bone height in their sinus area.
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.
