NCT ID NCT01988480
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to place dental implants in the upper jaw without a sinus lift. 60 adults missing teeth took part. One group got implants using image-guided surgery, the other had a standard sinus lift with bone graft. The goal was to see if the new method works as well or better.

image-guided surgery
What this could lead to

This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants. The procedure may not work for everyone and requires enough remaining bone.
