What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Researchers compare two ways to lift the sinus floor before placing dental implants in the upper jaw. One method uses a small camera (endoscope) to check the sinus membrane during drilling and grafting, while the other relies on standard techniques. The trial enrolls 24 adults with 4 to 7 mm of bone height who need one or more upper back teeth replaced. It measures whether the membrane stays intact, how long surgery takes, and changes in bone density.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
endoscopic-guided sinus lift procedure
What this could lead to
If the endoscopic approach works better, it could give dentists a safer way to place implants in the upper jaw when bone is thin.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 24 people at one center, so the results may not apply broadly. Sinus lift surgery carries risks like membrane tears, infection, or implant failure.
