Minimally Invasive Sinus Lift Through the Interradicular Septum

Minimally Invasive Microsurgical Sinus-lift Through the Interradicular Septum. A Clinical Trial

Sponsor

Universidad de Murcia

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Mar 2, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Surgical Procedure, Unspecified Bone Loss Bone Loss, Age-related Atrophy; Alveolar Process

Summary

This study aims to describe a new approach for the reconstruction of the alveolar process in the sinus area. This minimally invasive approach will access the maxillary sinus through the alveolar process, elevating the sinus membrane in the area immediately above it. The regeneration may be achieved in the specific area required for dental implant placement, reducing the morbidity of the procedure.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a minimally invasive technique for sinus augmentation (sinus lift) — a procedure to add bone in the upper jaw before placing a dental implant. In this technique, the sinus floor is accessed through the space between the roots of the upper first molar rather than through the side of the jaw, potentially reducing recovery time and discomfort. You may be eligible if: - You are 18 or older - Your upper first molar cannot be saved and needs to be extracted - The sinus cavity dips into the space between the roots of that molar - The remaining bone height between the roots is less than 5 mm - Your dental plaque and gum bleeding scores are below 30% You may NOT be eligible if: - You have a systemic disease that contraindicates dental surgery - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDUREInterradicular septum window

In this group, the maxillary sinus will be accessed through a window in the interradicular septum and the membrane will be elevated, carrying out the regeneration of the area to facilitate subsequent implant placement.
