Comparing two sinus lift methods for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to lift the sinus floor and place multiple dental implants at the same time when there is only a small amount of bone (4-5 mm) under the sinus. One method uses a rotating tool to gently shape the bone, the other uses a tapping tool. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and patient comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and willing to follow the study schedule.
- You are missing 2 or 3 back teeth on the upper jaw (not wisdom teeth) for more than 6 months.
- The bone height under your sinus is between 4 and 5 mm, and your dentist confirms sinus width and membrane are suitable.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day and have no active sinus infections.
- You have no major health issues (like uncontrolled diabetes or past radiation to the head/neck) that could affect healing.

This study examines how computer planning improves dental implant surgery when bone needs to be built up in the upper back jaw. Researchers will assess whether digital planning helps predict better outcomes for patients getting sinus lift procedures.
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 study looks at two different ways to lift the sinus floor before placing a dental implant in the upper back jaw. Doctors want to see which method works better over time, helping patients keep their implants strong and healthy.
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 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.
This trial compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw when the bone is too thin for standard implants. It may help people who need an implant but have lost bone height.
