Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial compared two sinus lift techniques — the transcrestal approach using osseodensification and the lateral window approach — and my doctor is recommending one of them for my implant; based on the bone height gain results from this completed study, which technique does my doctor think would give me the better outcome for my specific jaw anatomy?
2Since this trial has already been completed, has my doctor seen or reviewed the findings, and do those results change which sinus lift method they would recommend for me?
3The lateral window technique is more invasive than the transcrestal approach — given my overall health and healing ability, which of these two methods would carry fewer risks or a shorter recovery for me personally?
4If the bone height gain was similar between both techniques in this trial, what other factors — like my current bone level, sinus anatomy, or implant size — would help my doctor decide which approach fits my situation best?
5Are there situations where neither of these sinus lift techniques would be the right choice for me, and if so, what alternative options should we consider before moving forward with implant placement?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
