ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand what factors might lead to complications after a specific dental procedure called a transosseous maxillary sinus lift. This procedure is often needed for patients who want dental implants but have insufficient bone height in their upper jaw. The study will examine various factors, such as how much bone is left, the thickness of the sinus membrane, and the density of the bone, to help doctors better plan the surgery and reduce risks for patients.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be adults who are in good health and require dental implants in the back part of their upper jaw, specifically those who have less than 6 mm of bone height left. They should not have any serious health issues that could affect healing, like uncontrolled diabetes, and they should not have a history of chronic sinus problems. Participants can expect to undergo assessments related to their bone and sinus health, and their information will help improve future care for people needing similar procedures. If you have a history of smoking or have had previous sinus surgeries, you may not be eligible for this study.
