About this study

Official title: MAXILLARY SINUS ELEVATION USING GELFOAM (ABSORBABLE GELATIN) VERSUS XENOGRAFT (TUTOGEN) and SIMULTANEOUS IMPLANT PLACEMENT:Randomized Clinical Trial

using gel foam [ absorbable gelatin ] in maxillary sinus elevation which act as a space maintainer and alternative to bone filler for new bone formation in the maxillary sinus and its advantages for patients undergoing maxillary sinus elevation with simultaneous implant placement as regards the implant stability and amount of bone height gain compared to conventional maxillary sinus elevation by xenograft.

Read the detailed description

One of the main problem for posterior maxilla it becomes atrophic after extraction of the teeth and this followed by Pneumatization of the maxillary sinus, the atrophy of the alveolar process is a common reason for the limited availability of alveolar bone for implant placement in the posterior maxilla.

Numerous techniques designed to increase bone volume in the maxillary sinus region have been proposed. They were mostly based on the insertion of various materials into a void created between the sinus (Schneiderian) membrane and the bony walls of the maxillary sinus. (Sohn et al 2008) reported simultaneous placement of implants, and insertion of gelatin sponges demonstrate new bone formation through clinical and radiographic evaluations. New bone formation was verified by stabilization of the elevated sinus membrane from the tenting effect of placement of dental implants and absorbable gelatin sponge without any bone graft material. This study shows that there is great potential for new bone formation in the maxillary sinus without the use of additional bone grafts. Systemic review showed that the survival rate for implants utilizing xenografts was statistically the same as for implants placed in particulate autogenous bone grafts .

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GELFOAMDevice

    Also called (ABSORBABLE GELATIN)

    • Three line mucoperiosteal pyramidal flap will be reflected in the posterior maxillary edentulous area to expose the lateral wall of the maxilla.
    • A diamond bur will be used to make a rectangular osteotomy.
    • The membrane will be carefully elevated from the lateral wall and floor of maxillary sinus with simultaneous implant placement.
    • Implant stability will be measured by osteal device
    • implant will be inserted with gelfoam (absorbable gelatin) for augmentation• The flap will then be copiously irrigated with saline in preparation for closure.
    • The flap will then be closed using interrupted 4/0 resorbable sutures.
  • xenograftDevice

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GELFOAM (ABSORBABLE GELATIN)Active comparatorSterile Sponge is a medical device intended for application to bleeding surfaces as a hemostatic. It is a water-insoluble, off-white, nonelastic. it act as a space maintainer and alternative to bone filler for new bone formation in the maxillary sinus. It may be cut without fraying and is able to absorb and hold within its interstices, many times its weight of blood and other fluids its effect appears to be more physical than the result of altering the blood clotting mechanism. When placed in soft tissues, GELFOAM is usually absorbed completely within four to six weeks, without inducing excessive scar tissue
Receives: Device: GELFOAM
XENOGRAFT (TUTOGEN)Active comparatorxenografts as a sinus bone replacement graft ,The osteoconductive properties of xenografts in human sinus grafting have been well documented. They are due to both their chemical composition and their macro and micro morphology.The efficacy of xenografts as a sinus bone replacement graft may be due to combination of factors. Foremost would be the osteoconductive capacity of xenografts. In addition, they supply minerals that are necessary for bone formation, their density provides stability to the graft and the implants placed in them, and this density persists long term due to the fact that these grafts do not completely resorb.
Receives: Device: xenograft

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GELFOAM and xenograft in people with Maxillary Sinus, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Amount of bone gained: (time frame: 6 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
