Lateral sinus lift with Xenograft alone vs L-PRF block plus Xenograft

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

Adults with insufficient bone height in the back of the upper jaw will undergo a lateral sinus floor elevation to enable implant placement. Participants are assigned to receive a lateral sinus lift with Xenograft alone or with an L-PRF block in addition to Xenograft. The trial will evaluate bone gain, graft stability, and implant success over follow-up visits. The study uses CBCT imaging and standard clinical assessments to compare outcomes between the two grafting approaches. This is an interventional study conducted at Gulf Medical University.
