Sinus lift methods for upper jaw implants
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at two different ways to do sinus lifts (adding bone to the upper jaw) to find out which works better for holding dental implants. If you had this surgery and your implant is doing well, you might be eligible to join.
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 study tests different ways of doing a sinus lift (adding bone to the upper jaw) and placing a dental implant at the same time, using a personalized surgical guide. The goal is to see which method gives better bone support around the implant, which may help the implant last longer and feel more stable.
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.
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 pilot study tests a modified technique to add bone in the upper jaw area (the sinus floor) so dental implants may be possible. You may be considered if you have a small amount of remaining bone height and enough bone width, and you do not have certain infections or risk factors.
