Cheekbone implant study seeks best route for toothless upper jaw
NCT ID NCT07452068
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 36 people with severe upper jaw bone loss who needed cheekbone (zygomatic) implants. Researchers compared two surgical methods—placing the implant inside the sinus or outside the sinus—to see which gave better stability and fewer sinus problems. The goal was to find the best approach for long-lasting implant success.
