Study of 3-D X-Ray Imaging After Closed Sinus Surgery Using Calcium Phosphosilicate Putty to Prepare for Dental Implants in Adults Ages 18 to 85

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating whether cone beam computed tomography CBCT, a type of 3-dimensional x-ray, can help determine if dental implant placement is possible after closed sinus surgery. The study focuses on the structure of the gum where the implant will be placed and aims to compare images taken immediately after surgery with those taken six months later to assess readiness for implant placement. Participants will undergo a closed sinus augmentation procedure using Calcium Phosphosilicate Putty as part of standard care. A low volume CBCT imaging procedure will be performed immediately after the sinus grafting and dental implant placement, and again six months later at a postoperative visit. These imaging procedures will take place in the Graduate Periodontics clinic. During the study, participants will attend about two visits the surgical appointment and a follow-up visit six months later. At each visit, 3-D x-rays will be taken to monitor the bone volume changes from baseline to six months. Researchers will assess the bone volume change and overall readiness of the site for dental implant placement while monitoring participants health throughout the study, which lasts at least six months.
