Clinical and Radiographic Evidence of Alleviation of Preoperative Chronic Sinusitis After Open Sinus Allogeneic Bone Augmentation Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Study

Plain-language summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of open sinus elevation technique on chronic sinusitis when combined with simultaneous dental implant placement. A retrospective analysis of patients with chronic sinusitis who underwent sinus elevation and dental implant procedures was performed. Radiographic images were analyzed preoperatively and postoperatively to assess the fluid levels in the sinuses. Clinical evaluation through a questionnaire tabulated by an ENT specialist was done for all patients. The results showed the following: Preoperative radiographs showed varying fluid levels in the sinuses. Postoperative results demonstrated that fluid levels were either entirely eliminated or significantly reduced in all cases. Therefore, it can be concluded that sinus elevation procedures, when performed concurrently with dental implants, can alleviate chronic sinusitis symptoms as evidenced by reduced fluid levels in the sinus cavities.

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?
