NCT ID NCT06647381
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows up with patients who got dental implants along with a sinus lift procedure between 1997 and 2001. Researchers will check bone loss around the implants, take X-rays and photos, and ask patients about their satisfaction. The goal is to see how well these implants hold up over 25 years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide long-term data on how well dental implants with sinus lifts hold up over 25 years, helping guide future dental treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up with only 50 participants from a single center, so results may not apply to everyone. The long gap may also make it hard to find enough original patients.
