Study Summary

This trial will test if adding DFDBA fibers to DBBM results in more new bone than adding DFDBA particles to DBBM during a sinus augmentation procedure.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals experiencing jawbone loss who require sinus augmentation, a type of dental surgery. Participants must be healthy enough for the procedure and not have conditions that could interfere with bone healing or the study's outcomes.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing two different materials used in sinus augmentation: DFDBA fibers versus DFDBA particles, both added to another material called DBBM. The goal is to see which combination leads to better bone formation after six months.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed, common risks associated with sinus augmentation may include infection, bleeding, swelling, pain at the implant site, and possible rejection of the graft material.

Group I: DFDBA Particles with DBBMExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

After standard of care elevation of the Schneiderian membrane, a mix of DFDBA particles with DBBM (50%-50%) will be introduced in the space created between the Schneiderian membrane and the alveolar crest of the maxilla.

After standard of care elevation of the Schneiderian membrane, a mix of DFDBA fibers with DBBM (50%-50%) will be introduced in the space created between the Schneiderian membrane and the alveolar crest of the maxilla.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I need whole mouth implants and possible work on jaw bone . The back quads of upper and lower gone. I can’t afford to get implants and desperately need them to eat and feel good about my appearance again.
