Comparing bone formation after sinus floor elevation with and without perforation

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 study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of perforating the cortical sinus floor to enhance bone formation during sinus floor elevation procedures. Twelve patients requiring bilateral sinus floor elevation will participate in a split-mouth design, where one side will undergo perforation before the insertion of augmentation material, while the other side will serve as a control with only the augmentation material. The healing process will be monitored for 4-6 months, after which bone biopsies will be collected for histological analysis to assess the differences in bone formation between the two approaches.
