Clinical Trial: Marginal Bone Changes Around Dental Implant Placed with Open Vs. Closed Sinus Elevation
Study Status: COMPLETED
Recruit Status: COMPLETED
Condition: Marginal Bone Levels
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: A 36 - Month Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Marginal Bone Changes Surrounding Dental Implants Placed with Open Versus Closed Sinus Elevation and Allogenic Bone Grafting.
Brief Summary:
Background: In cases with atrophic posterior maxilla, sinus elevation techniques are essential for a successful implant placement.The optimal strategy for treating pneumatized maxillary sinus in terms of dental implant insertion and surrounding bone stability has been a scientific conundrum for many years.The objective of this study was to evaluate and contrast the long-term marginal bone alterations around dental implants that were positioned utilizing transcrestal (closed) versus lateral (open) sinus elevation…
