Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn if cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or 3-dimensional x-ray can help to let the investigator know if dental implant placement can be done after performing closed sinus surgery. The study will look at the structure of your gum where the implant will be placed after performing the surgery using 3-D x-ray and compare that to how the structure of your gum looks 6 months later. The 3-D imaging will happen after standard of care surgery to prepare your gum for an implant and then 6 months later to verify that the site is ready for the implant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals needing dental implants who require closed sinus surgery to prepare the gum. Participants must be suitable for standard of care surgery and willing to undergo 3-D x-rays immediately after surgery and six months later.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a low volume CBCT, or 3-dimensional x-ray, can accurately assess the readiness of the gum structure for dental implant placement after closed sinus augmentation, both immediately post-surgery and at a six-month follow-up.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves imaging techniques like CBCT rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include exposure to low levels of radiation typical for dental X-rays.
