What this Trial Is About
This research aims to develop and test a modified minimally invasive surgical technique for sinus floor augmentation in patients with a residual bone height of 3 to 6 millimeters. The goal is to create a reliable implant bed of at least 10 millimeters in height after a healing period of 3 to 5 months. The study also seeks to reduce patient stress compared to traditional methods. Participants will undergo the sinus floor elevation procedure, which is being evaluated to improve outcomes and comfort. This surgical technique is studied on a pilot group of 12 patients, with no placebo or comparative treatments involved. The procedure targets the maxillary sinus area to enhance bone structure for dental implant placement. During the study, participants will be monitored to measure the height of bone augmentation after 4 to 5 months of healing. The research team will assess the surgical results and patient recovery, including any side effects or complications. The total duration includes the surgery followed by the healing and evaluation period to determine the procedure's effectiveness and patient impact.
