Implant Placement Using Open Sinus Elevation Technique With and Without Bone Grafting Material
24 participantsStarted 2025-08-01
Plain-language summary
The success rate of dental implants after graftless sinus augmentation versus conventional sinus augmentation surgery in atrophic maxillae in edentulous patients was investigated and it was concluded that despite the bone gain in ten garftless side, implant survival were significantly lower in the non-grafted side. One year later, Lie et al., conducted a systematic review to evaluate efficacy of graftless maxillary sinus membrane elevation using the lateral window approach for implantation in the atrophic maxilla. It showed a high implant survival rate in non-grafted maxillary sinus lifts and conventional sinus lifts using augmentation materials and there was no significant difference in the ISQ values between both procedures. However, further randomized clinical trials with long-term follow-up were recommended.

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.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

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?
