Study Summary

"This trial aims to assess bone healing four months after a specific type of sinus augmentation procedure using a combination of autologous bone and xenograft, compared to using xenograft alone. The evaluation

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-100 who are patients at Tufts School of Dental Medicine, needing bone grafts for dental implants due to significant tooth loss. They must have a specific amount of residual bone height and not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or heavy smokers. Those with osteoporosis, prior sinus procedures, existing sinus issues, or conditions affecting bone metabolism can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of two types of bone healing after a sinus lift augmentation: one using a mix of the patient's own bone (autograft) with xenograft material versus using only xenograft material. The outcomes will be measured through radiographic analysis and tissue samples at four months post-procedure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the site where autologous bone is taken from, swelling or infection in the sinuses following augmentation, and possible adverse reactions to anesthesia used during these surgical procedures.
