New dental technique may boost implant success in weak jawbones
NCT ID NCT07444970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special 'sticky bone' mixture helps dental implants heal better than standard bone graft material. Eighteen adults with low bone height in the upper jaw will receive a sinus lift and implant, using either sticky bone or regular xenograft. The main goal is to see which material leads to more bone growth and stronger implant stability.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years and older. * Patients presenting with residual bone height of less than 5 millimeters in the posterior maxilla requiring sinus floor elevation for dental implant placement. * Good oral hygiene status with absence of active periodontal disease. * Medically fit patients with no systemic conditions contraindicating oral surgical procedures. * Non-smokers. * Absence of acute or chronic maxillary sinusitis. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or severe cardiovascular diseases). * Immunocompromised patients. * History of radiation therapy to the head and neck region. * History of sinus surgery or sinus pathology that may interfere with sinus floor elevation procedures. * Presence of active infection or inflammation at the intended surgical site. * Use of medications known to affect bone metabolism or healing, such as bisphosphonates or long-term corticosteroid therapy.
