The Influence of Dimensional Anatomic Variables on the Outcomes of Maxillary Sinus Grafting Procedures

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Edentulism, Alveolar Bone Atrophy, Sinus Pneumatization

In brief

The hypothesis of this study is that there is a significant difference in bone maturation after sinus grafting determined by the distance from the buccal to the palatal wall of this cavity.

You may qualify if…

• Adults patients (Older than 18 years), up to 85 years-old.
• Physical status according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I or II
• Patient in need of a sinus grafting using the lateral approach to allow the proper placement of dental implants. The remaining bone height must be 3 mm or less.
