Details and patient eligibility

About

About 40 people will participate in the study, which will be conducted at Southern Medical University Southern Hospital. All subjects need to sign an informed consent form before screening, and successful subjects can enter the study. Experimental and control subjects were treated according to the protocol. Treatment was held until the participant entered a follow-up period, or until any of the withdrawal criteria were met. According to conventional clinical practice, the study needs to evaluate the patient's subjective perception and soft and hard tissue changes at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after successful implant placement. The specific process is divided into: 1. Screening period: All subjects need to complete the relevant examinations of the screening period before enrollment, and screen according to the admission criteria. (1) Sign informed consent; (2) Record demographic data: date of birth, gender, initials; (3) Medical history and physical examination: collection includes understanding of any current or past diseases, medications, drug allergy history, surgical history, radiotherapy and chemotherapy history, ethnic background, smoking history, whether alcoholism, oral hygiene habits and oral examination, etc.; (4) Among them, oral examination includes the whole oral health before and after surgery and oral and maxillofacial CBCT imaging examination; 2. Treatment period: the control group underwent transalveolar crest parietal maxillary sinus floor lift immediately after implants; The experimental group underwent implant implantation after 6 months of transalveolar crest parietal maxillary sinus floor lift. 3. Follow-up period: The study needs to evaluate the subjective feelings and soft and hard tissue changes of patients at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after implant placement.

Transalveolar crest parietal maxillary sinus floor secondary lift

Experimental group

Description:

In order to achieve minimally invasive surgery (RBH≤5mm) in patients with severe deficiency of residual bone height in the posterior maxillary region and obtain reliable clinical research results, a secondary sinus floor lifting technique combining the advantages of maxillary sinus lift with the low risk of maxillary sinus lift is proposed.

Treatment:

Procedure: transalveolar crest parietal maxillary sinus floor secondary lift

Transalveolar crest parietal maxillary sinus floor lift

Active Comparator group

Description:

Transalveolar crest parietal maxillary sinus floor lift (OSFE) requires a residual bone height of at least 5 mm and implant placement at the same time. Its advantages are simple operation, shorter surgical time, reduced trauma and reduced postoperative complications, and the concept of minimally invasive implant surgery is reflected in OSFE.

Treatment:

Procedure: Transalveolar crest maxillary sinus floor lift
