Trial summary

The post-extraction pneumatization of the maxillary sinus often compromises the ability of the maxillary molar to the optimal recipient of dental implants as a consequence of the quantitative reduction of the vertical bone height and the reduced bone quality of the region posterior maxillary segment.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Simultaneous Implant Placement and Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation With Gelatin Sponge Versus Allogenic Demineralized Bone Matrix: (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

The post-extraction pneumatization of the maxillary sinus often compromises the ability of the maxillary molar to the optimal recipient of dental implants as a consequence of the quantitative reduction of the vertical bone height and the reduced bone quality of the region posterior maxillary segment.

Being tested
Sinus lifting

What participants receive

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

  • Sinus liftingProcedure or surgery

    The implant osteotomy will be initiated by pilot drill entries followed by sequential drills via the radiographic stent's sleeves to position the fixtures precisely into the pre-determined recipient sites. The Implant stability quotient (ISQ) will then be measured using an Osstell device after attaching intelligent implant pigs. Finally, the mucoperiosteal flaps will be sutured in place with 4-0 Prolene.

Study groups in NCT06681857
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Test group: Gelatin SpongeActive comparatorThe surgical intervention will be executed under local anesthesia. After the elevation of the full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap over the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, a circular lateral window will be created by sinus low-speed bur grinding of the cortical ring to guard against the Shniederian membrane violation, followed by its separation along the sinus floor, lateral walls and the boundaries of the window to elaborate a smooth superior membrane elevation. The created spaces beneath the elevated Shniederian membrane will be filled up by an absorbable gelatin sponge for the test group patients followed by the coverage of the side window with collagen membrane, secured with bone tacks to guard against the graft fibroblastic invasion.
Receives: Procedure: Sinus lifting
Control group: Allogenic Demineralized Bone MatrixActive comparatorThe surgical intervention will be executed under local anesthesia. After the elevation of the full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap over the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, a circular lateral window will be created by sinus low-speed bur grinding of the cortical ring to guard against the Shniederian membrane violation, followed by its separation along the sinus floor, lateral walls and the boundaries of the window to elaborate a smooth superior membrane elevation. The created spaces beneath the elevated Shniederian membrane will be filled up by allogenic (DBM) for the control group patients, followed by the coverage of the side window with collagen membrane, secured with bone tacks to guard against the graft fibroblastic invasion.
Receives: Procedure: Sinus lifting

What is being measured

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

  1. Vertical bone gain

    baseline and final outcome for measuring both groups' radiographic vertical bone height gain as a primary outcome aided by the (Blue-sky software) identification of four reference points along each implant buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal surface

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Stability

    Aided by the Osstell device, the authors will record the (ISQ) readings at implant placement and upon its exposure for prosthetic rehabilitation after six months as a secondary outcome. The mean (ISQ) of the maxillary sinus lift procedure would employ the mean of parallel and perpendicular (ISQ) readings to each implant long axis where one implant is inserted and the mean of the two implant readings when two implants are placed.

    The numerical data concerning the primary and secondary outcomes will be recorded, scheduled, and submitted for statistical analysis

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sinus lifting in people with Maxillary Sinus Disease, run by Beni-Suef University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2025. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

Vertical bone gain (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Sep 2025.
