Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a non-inferiority study to evaluate whether L-PRF achieves similar or perhaps better results in bone gain, compared with "the golden standard" DBBM, after trans-crestal sinus floor elevation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel group design. A total of 40 patients, needing transcrestal sinus lift (T), will be enrolled.

Under local anesthesia, the required T and implant placement will be performed and ISQ values will be recorded. Afterwards a CBCT will be taken for control. Randomization will be performed by computer generated random codes, using random permuted blocks with a block size of 4 to avoid uneven splits and minimization for the key prognostic factors RBH. Allocation will be concealed to the surgeons at completion of the common part of treatment, by opening an opaque envelope. At the same time an oral implant(s) will be inserted in the augmented area.

After 6 months a CBCT will be taken for control of the bone healing and the measurements of the newly formed bone. The abutment will be placed on top of the osseo-integrated implant(s) under local anesthesia. ISQ values will be recorded. Follow-up will be till 1 year.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Leukocyte and Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF)

For the test group the sub-sinus cavity will be filled with Leukocyte en Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF).

Before starting the surgery, 8 tubes (9 ml) of venous blood will be collected from the patients. A centrifugation standard L-PRF protocol will be followed followed (12 minutes centrifugation, 2700 rpm/408g RCF).

After full centrifugation of the tubes, the L-PRF clots will be removed from the tubes using surgical tweezers. The clots will be thereafter gently compressed into membranes using a sterile metal box (Xpression, Intra-Lock, Florida, USA).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

L-PRF

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The use of the L-PRF as graft material for sinus augmentation procedure will be analysed

Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral (DBBM)

For the test group the sub-sinus cavity will be filled with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM). The product used will be a xenograft (Bio-Oss Small particles, Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

DBBM

Intervention Type PROCEDURE
