About this study

Official title: Influence of the Sinus Floor-to-lower Window Margin Distance on Outcomes of Bone Window Repositioning in Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation With Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Retrospective Study

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate how the vertical distance from the sinus floor to the lower margin of the lateral window affects bone regeneration and implant outcomes after lateral sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does a sinus floor-to-window margin distance ≥3 mm lead to better bone augmentation and implant stability compared to a distance <3 mm?

This is a retrospective, single-center cohort study. Participants included patients who had previously undergone lateral sinus floor elevation with implant placement and had at least 6 months of postoperative follow-up. Cone-beam CT images were used to measure radiographic outcomes such as alveolar bone height and augmented volume.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DSLW ≥ 3 mmPatients undergoing lateral sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement, in whom the distance from the sinus floor to the lower edge of the lateral window is greater than or equal to 3 mm.
DSLW < 3 mmPatients undergoing lateral sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement, in whom the distance from the sinus floor to the lower edge of the lateral window is less than 3 mm.

What is being measured

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

  1. ABH at T1, ABH at T2, ABH change from T1 to T2, ESBG at T1, ESBG at T2, ESBG change from T1 to T2, BBH at T1, BBH at T2, BBH change from T1 to T2, PBH at T1, PBH at T2, PBH change from T1 to T2, AV at T1, AV at T2, AV change from T1 to T2

    ABH at T1 (mm): Alveolar bone height measured immediately after surgery; ABH at T2 (mm): ABH measured 6 months after surgery; ABH change from T1 to T2 (%): ABH Calculated as ((T2 - T1) / T1) × 100%; ESBG at T1 (mm): Elevated sinus bone gain measured immediately after surgery; ESBG at T2 (mm): ESBG measured 6 months after surgery; ESBG change from T1 to T2 (%): ESBG Calculated as ((T2 - T1) / T1) × 100%; BBH at T1 (mm): Buccal bone height measured immediately after surgery; BBH at T2 (mm): BBH measured 6 months after surgery; BBH change from T1 to T2 (%): BBH Calculated as ((T2 - T1) / T1) × 100%; PBH at T1 (mm): Palatal bone height measured immediately after surgery; PBH at T2 (mm): PBH measured 6 months after surgery; PBH change from T1 to T2 (%): PBH Calculated as ((T2 - T1) / T1) × 100%; AV at T1 (mm³): Augmented volume measured immediately after surgery; AV at T1(mm³): AV measured 6 months after surgery; AV change from T1 to T2 (%): AV Calculated as ((T2 - T1) / T1) × 100%

    Measured: T1 (immediately after surgery) and T2 (6 months after surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sinus Floor Elevation, run by Guoli Yang at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 1 Jul 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 China. 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?

ABH at T1, ABH at T2, ABH change from T1 to T2, ESBG at T1, ESBG at T2, ESBG change from T1 to T2, BBH at T1, BBH at T2, BBH change from T1 to T2, PBH at T1, PBH at T2, PBH change from T1 to T2, AV at T1, AV at T2, AV change from T1 to T2 (time frame: T1 (immediately after surgery) and T2 (6 months after surgery)). 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 1 Jul 2025.
