Dental implant study reveals key factor in Long-Term bone loss

NCT ID NCT07550491

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 142 people who had a sinus lift procedure using cow bone mineral before getting dental implants. Researchers measured how much bone was left around the implants years later, and checked if the original jawbone height, implant type, smoking, or diabetes played a role. The goal was to better understand what affects long-term implant success.

deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help dentists predict which patients are at higher risk for bone loss around implants after sinus lifts, improving treatment planning.
