A modified technique for sinus floor elevation in patients with limited bone height

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to evaluate a modified minimally invasive surgical technique for sinus floor augmentation in patients with a residual bone height of 3-6mm. The investigators hypothesize that this technique will create an adequate implant bed of at least 10mm height after a healing period of 3-5 months, while also reducing patient stress levels. The study will involve 12 patients undergoing sinus floor elevation procedures to assess the effectiveness and safety of the approach.
