Preserving sinus lining during maxillary surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a modified surgery technique that keeps the sinus membrane intact while removing part of the upper jaw. It aims to reduce complications and help bone healing for patients with growths in the upper jaw that haven't spread to the sinus cavity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a growth (lesion) in your upper jaw that needs to be surgically removed, as seen on a CT scan and confirmed by tissue analysis.
- The growth is limited to the upper jawbone and does not extend into the sinus cavity (air space above the jaw).
- There are no extra bone walls (septa) inside your sinus cavity, and the bony floor of your sinus is smooth and intact.
- Your cancer, if present, has not spread to distant parts of your body.
- You are healthy enough (ASA class I-III) to safely undergo general anesthesia.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the head or neck in the past.

This trial looks at patients who need surgery for problems limited only to the maxillary sinus (a space behind your cheek). It aims to learn more about these specific sinus lesions.
This trial compares two surgical methods for lifting the sinus membrane to add bone for dental implants. It may help if you have very little bone left in your upper jaw back teeth area.
This trial tests a new type of bone graft material for opening the upper-jaw sinus to make room for dental implants. It is for people with very little bone in the back of the upper jaw who need implants for missing teeth.
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 different types of bone graft materials used during sinus lift surgery (a procedure that builds up bone in the upper jaw to support dental implants). Researchers want to see which combination works best for long-term implant success.
This study tests a surgery to build up bone in the upper jaw where teeth are missing. It may help people who need more bone to get dental implants later.
