Crestal vs Lateral Sinus Lift Augmentation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) of split-mouth design was to compare patient preference and effectiveness of two different techniques for lifting the maxillary sinus: the crestal approach versus the lateral window approach.

Clinical Trial Description

Each patient having bilateral edentulism in posterior maxillae was randomised to receive one partial fixed prosthesis supported by one to three implants placed either with a crestal or with lateral window sinus lift procedure.

Eligibility criteria for participants

Only healed implant sites were considered (at least 3 months after tooth extraction). The vertical bone height at the implant sites to be included had to be between 2 to 6 mm and bone thickness at least 6 mm as measured on cone-bean computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Patients were not admitted in the study if any of the following exclusion criteria was present:

general contraindications to implant surgery subjected to irradiation in the head and neck area immunosuppressed or immunocompromised treated or under treatment with intravenous amino-bisphosphonates poor oral hygiene and motivation untreated periodontal disease uncontrolled diabetes pregnant or lactating substance abusers psychiatric problems unrealistic expectations lack of opposite occluding dentition/prosthesis in the area intended for implant placement acute or chronic infection/inflammation in the area intended for sinus augmentation/implant placement referred only for implant placement who cannot be rehabilitated and followed at the treatment centre unable to attend a 5-year post-loading follow-up. Smokers were included and patients were categorised into three groups according to what declare: i) non-smokers; ìì) moderate smokers, if smoking up to 10 cigarettes/day; iii) heavy smokers if smoking more than 10 cigarettes/day.

Patients were recruited and treated in one private practice in Tirana, Albania by two operators: Marco Tallarico who performed all surgical interventions and Erta Xhanari who performed all prosthetic and maintenance procedures. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
