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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This small pilot study tested a new way to place dental implants in the upper jaw when there is not enough bone height. Surgeons used a special drill and a tiny camera to watch the sinus membrane during the procedure. The goal was to see how often the membrane gets torn, which can lead to sinus problems. Only 6 people took part, so the results are very early and not ready for widespread use.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

6 people

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * males and females over 21 years of age; * partial edentulism in the posterior maxilla involving 2 or more adjacent teeth in the premolar-molar area; * teeth at the intended implant sites must have been extracted or lost at least 9 months before the date of implant surgery; * sinus floor with a relatively flat contour confirmed on baseline CBCT; * bucco-palatal sinus width (distance between the buccal and palatal walls at 10-mm apical level comprising the residual alveolar crest ) 8-12 mm confirmed on baseline CBCT to minimize the risk of SMP during surgery (Stacchi et al. 2022); * sinus membrane thickness ≤ 2 mm; * subsinus residual bone height (RBH) 4-6 mm at the intended implant sites and bucco-palatal bone width allowing implant placement without bone augmentation procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * systemic conditions contraindicating implant surgery; * pregnancy or lactation; * ongoing or history of pathologies or medications affecting bone metabolism; * ongoing or history of head and neck irradiation; * oral inflammatory and autoimmune diseases; * presence of osseous lesions or persistent infections in the planned implant sites; * previous bone augmentation surgery; * uncontrolled periodontal diseases; * heavy smoking (\> 10 cigarettes/day); * history of sinus surgery; * presence of intrasinus bony septa that could affect membrane elevation and distention; and * ongoing or history of rhinitis or sinusitis.
