Trial summary

The aim of the present study is to compare the rate of new bone formation after sinus floor elevation with or without perforation of the cortical sinus floor prior to insertion of augmentation material. Twelve patients requiring bilateral sinus floor elevation will be recruited for a pilot study in split-mouth design. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Effect of Sinus Floor Perforation During Sinus Floor Elevation on Bone Formation Within the Augmentation Material

The aim of the present study is to compare the rate of new bone formation after sinus floor elevation with or without perforation of the cortical sinus floor prior to insertion of augmentation material. Twelve patients requiring bilateral sinus floor elevation will be recruited for a pilot study in split-mouth design. On both sides a lateral window will be prepared and the sinus mucosa will be elevated. After this step, the sides are assigned as test or control side. While the control side is just filled with augmentation material, an additional step is performed for the test side, i.e., prior to inserting the augmentation material, the cortical bone layer of the sinus floor is perforated several times into the trabecular bone layer to improve the blood supply to the grafting material. Thereafter, both sides are left to healing for 4-6 months until implant installation. At timepoint of implant installation, a bone biopsy will be collected to allow histological assessment of the grafted area.

Being tested
perforation of the sinus floor, no perforation of the sinus floor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing perforation of the sinus floor and no perforation of the sinus floor in people with Sinus Elevation and Dental Implant, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

New bone formation (time frame: 4-6 months after sinus floor elevation). 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 11 May 2022.
