About this study

Official title: Hydraulic Pressure Sinus Lift Versus Piezoelectric Lift Via Lateral Approach: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

the study aims to assess the effectiveness of hydraulic pressure sinus lift via lateral wall approach, versus piezoelectric surgery in patients with deficient posterior maxilla.

Read the detailed description

This study involves a randomized clinical trial of 20 participants with less than 6 mm bone height in the posterior maxilla in need of Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation using the lateral window approach. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups; the HPLT Group which include 10 patients who will undergo hydraulic pressure for osteotomy preparation for lateral sinus lifting technique, and the PSLT Group which include 10 patients managed using piezoelectric surgery. Clinical and radiographic assessment of bone augmentation, as well as intraoperative biological complications and postoperative complications were recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. radiographic appraisal of gain in alveolar bone height

    Postoperative radiographic appraisal was conducted by an immediate postoperative CBCT, followed by other one after 6 postoperative month's. Measurements of the bone height was conducted from the alveolar crest to the floor of the maxillary sinus on a cross-section view of the CBCT (Carestream Health, Rochester, NY). Radiographic assessment of the amount of bone height gain in 6 months period was performed by comparing the bone height measurements between the 6 postoperative months' CBCT with the preoperative scan.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of membrane perforation

    incidence of membrane perforation during the operation was assessed in both groups

    Measured: Until the end of the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydraulic Pressure Lifting Technique and Piezo-Surgical Lifting Technique in people with Sinus Lifting and Piezoelectric Technique, run by Alexandria 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 May 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?

radiographic appraisal of gain in alveolar bone height (time frame: 6 months). 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 4 May 2025.
