12-year study reveals how bone graft material changes after sinus lift surgery
NCT ID NCT07635472
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a bone graft made from cow bone (deproteinized bovine bone mineral) changes in volume over up to 12 years after a sinus lift procedure. Researchers will use 3D scans to measure any shrinkage or stability of the graft. The goal is to understand long-term outcomes for people who need dental implants in the upper jaw.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help dentists choose more predictable graft materials for sinus lifts, improving long-term implant success.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study (60 people) that only looks at one type of graft. Results may not apply to all patients or materials.
