Maxillary sinus lift using a 1:1 mix of your own bone and bovine bone versus bovine bone alone

Radiographic and Histomorphometric Assessment for Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation and Augmentation Using A Mixture of 1:1 Autogenous Bone With Deproteinized Bovine Bone Particulate Versus Deproteinized Bovine Bone Particulate: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Not applicable Interventional Cairo University · NCT07177495

This test sees if mixing a patient's own bone with deproteinized bovine bone makes better grafted bone for sinus lifts than using bovine bone alone in adults with very little upper back jaw bone.

What this trial studies

Before surgery patients receive CBCT imaging to map sinus anatomy and rule out sinus disease. Participants are placed into two groups that undergo an open lateral window sinus lift procedure performed by one experienced surgeon, with the Schneiderian membrane elevated and graft material placed into the sinus. One group receives a 1:1 mixture of autogenous bone and deproteinized bovine bone particulate while the other group receives deproteinized bovine bone particulate alone, and a collagen membrane is placed over the graft before flap closure. Implant placement and a core biopsy are performed later as part of the follow-up to measure new bone formation and graft integration.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults over 30 with an atrophied posterior maxilla and residual bone height under 5 mm, adequate inter-arch space, and the ability to comply with follow-up visits are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients with sinus pathology, heavy smoking (>10 cigarettes/day), parafunctional habits, uncontrolled systemic disease, poor oral hygiene, or significant psychiatric instability are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the mixed autogenous/bovine graft could produce more new bone and stronger support for dental implants, potentially reducing the need for additional grafting.

How similar studies have performed: Previous clinical reports using mixtures of autogenous and deproteinized bovine bone have shown improved new bone formation in some cases, but results vary and are not uniformly conclusive.
