Predictors of complications after transosseous Versah maxillary sinus lift
Predictors For Transosseous Maxillary Sinus Lift Complications: A Prospective Cohort Study
NA · University of Baghdad · NCT07017413
This project will test whether factors like residual bone height, sinus membrane thickness, and sinus anatomy predict complications after a transosseous (Versah) sinus lift for people needing implants in the back upper jaw.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective cohort of partially edentulous patients receiving transcrestal (Versah/Densah) maxillary sinus lifts with or without simultaneous implant placement. Preoperative parameters such as residual bone height, Schneiderian membrane thickness, maxillary sinus ostium patency, bone density, surgical site, and amount of vertical lift are measured by CBCT and clinical exam. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes including membrane perforation, postoperative sinusitis, implant failure, and need for revision surgery are recorded and related to the measured predictors. The goal is to develop reliable preoperative indicators to improve risk stratification and treatment planning for transosseous sinus augmentation.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults needing implants in the posterior maxilla with residual bone height under 6 mm, good general health, no chronic sinus disease, and who are non-smokers.
Not a fit: Patients with residual bone height greater than 6 mm, a history of chronic sinusitis or prior sinus surgery, active smokers, or those not undergoing a transcrestal approach are unlikely to benefit from the findings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help clinicians identify patients at higher risk for membrane perforation or sinus complications and tailor surgical planning or select alternative approaches.
How similar studies have performed: Some prior work on osseodensification/Densah burs suggests improved primary stability and lower complication rates, but predictors of complications specifically for purely transcrestal Versah lifts remain incompletely characterized.
