ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two different methods for placing dental implants in patients who have lost upper back teeth and need extra support in the bone. Specifically, the study will look at the effectiveness of using an allograft (a type of bone graft from a donor) versus a tenting technique, which helps lift the sinus and create space for the implant. The goal is to find out which method provides better stability for the implant and improves bone height in the area.

To participate in this trial, individuals should have missing upper premolar or molar teeth and need bone grafting for their dental implant. They must also have enough bone height and width in the area where the implant will be placed. However, people with certain conditions—like severe sinus issues, heavy smoking habits, or other health problems that could complicate surgery—will not be eligible. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but those who qualify can expect to contribute to important research that could improve dental implant procedures for others in the future.
