Trial summary

Several approaches have been used in order to regenerate bone in the upper jaw in case of insufficient alveolar bone height for implant placement. However, new emerging techniques need to be assessed and compared to conventional methods in order to define their potential indications. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative and Postoperative Outcomes of Sinus Floor Elevation Using Lateral Window Technique Versus Hydrodynamic Transalveolar Approach: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Several approaches have been used in order to regenerate bone in the upper jaw in case of insufficient alveolar bone height for implant placement. However, new emerging techniques need to be assessed and compared to conventional methods in order to define their potential indications.

The purpose of the present randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare the clinical outcomes of two sinus floor elevation techniques: conventional lateral window technique versus a novel transalveolar approach using hydrodynamic ultrasonic device.

Being tested
Sinus floor elevation, Sinus floor elevation using an ultrasonic device

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sinus membrane perforation

    Presence/absence of sinus membrane perforation during the surgery

    Measured: During the surgery (from beginning to end)

  2. Surgical procedure duration

    The time measurement started from the administration of local anesthesia and ended when the placement of final suture was completed. The time was measured using a stopwatch.

    Measured: From beginning of surgery until the end of surgery

  3. Edema

    Presence/absence of edema postoperatively

    Measured: From the end of surgery up to 1 week postoperatively

  4. Hematoma

    Presence/absence of hematoma postoperatively

    Measured: From the end of surgery up to 1 week postoperatively

  5. Postsurgical bleeding

    Presence/absence of bleeding postoperatively

    Measured: From the end of surgery up to 1 week postoperatively

  6. Nasal discharge

    Presence/absence of nasal discharge postoperatively

    Measured: From the end of surgery up to 1 week postoperatively

  7. NSAID consumption

    Quantification of NSAID consumption per day up to 1 week postoperatively (tablets/per day)

    Measured: From the end of surgery up to 1 week postoperatively

  8. Patient related outcome measures (PROMs)

    PROMs were assessed with a questionnaire using a visual analogue scale (VAS), which was given to all participants in order to assess their perception before, during, and after the intervention. A graduated scale from 0 to 10 was used, with a lower score presenting a better outcome.

    Measured: From right before the surgery up to 1 week postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Radiographic outcomes

    Radiographic (CBCT) qualitative assessment of the gained volume (change in volume from baseline to 1 year postoperatively).

    Measured: From the baseline (surgery procedure) up to 1 year post-surgery

  2. Implant survival rates

    Implant survival rates assessment at 1 year postoperatively.

    Measured: From the baseline (surgery procedure) up to 1 year post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sinus floor elevation and Sinus floor elevation using an ultrasonic device in people with Intraoperative Outcomes and Postoperative Outcomes, run by University of Liege.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2020. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Sinus membrane perforation (time frame: During the surgery (from beginning to end)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04499625, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Aug 2020.
