Summary

This study tests a new method to lift the sinus membrane using a titanium mesh held by small screws, aiming to create more space for bone growth before placing dental implants. Twenty adults with less than 5 mm of jawbone height will be randomly assigned to either the titanium mesh method or a standard screw technique. Both groups also receive platelet-rich fibrin to aid healing. The main goals are to measure new bone quality and quantity using scans and tissue samples.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: titanium mesh
What this could lead to: If successful, this technique could improve bone growth for dental implants in people with thin jawbone, making implant placement more reliable.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include infection, implant failure, or no benefit over standard methods.
