Brief summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of Theravex Tissue Care Plus (Bone Bioactive Liquid) as an adjunct to a xenograft in crestal maxillary sinus elevation with simultaneous implant placement using the osseodensification technique. The study will enroll 16 partially edentulous patients who have inadequate posterior maxillary bone height. Participants will randomly undergo the sinus elevation and implant placement utilizing either a xenograft alone or a mixture of the xenograft and Theravex. The main question the study aims to answer is whether the adjunctive use of Theravex with a xenograft enhances vertical bone gain, bone density, and implant stability compared to using a xenograft alone.
Detailed description
The posterior maxilla presents a significant clinical challenge for implant placement due to progressive alveolar resorption, sinus pneumatization, and suboptimal bone density. Addressing these deficiencies typically necessitates sinus floor augmentation to restore the vertical bone height required for achieving adequate primary stability. Crestal sinus floor elevation via osseodensification addresses these deficiencies by preserving and compacting alveolar bone, which increases primary stability and facilitates hydrodynamic membrane elevation. To maintain the newly created vertical space, this technique is frequently combined with bone substitutes like demineralized bone matrix (DBM) xenografts. However, optimizing the biological graft-tissue interface to accelerate healing remains a critical goal. Bone Bioactive Liquid (BBL, Theravex Tissue Care Plus) is a novel, negatively charged phosphate saline solution containing calcium and magnesium chlorides that fundamentally alters the implant-tissue interface. While Theravex is proven to enhance implant wettability, modulate inflammatory responses, and accelerate osseointegration, its potential as a biologic adjunct to hydrate the graft matrix during osseodensification-mediated sinus augmentation currently remains unexplored. This randomized, controlled, parallel design, two-arm clinical trial (RCT) will enroll 16 partially edentulous patients. Eligible patients will have an initial residual alveolar ridge height ranging between 4 to 6 mm according to preoperative CBCT. The study will be a double-blinded clinical study, meaning blinding includes the patient and the assessor. After confirmation of eligibility and completion of baseline records, patients will be randomized 1:1 using computer-generated blocks Participants will be allocated into the following two treatment arms: Group I (Test Group): Patients in this group will undergo internal maxillary sinus lift via the osseodensification technique with simultaneous dental implant placement, utilizing a mixture of Theravex (Bone Bioactive Liquid) and xenograft and as the grafting material. Group II (Control Group): Patients in this group will undergo internal maxillary sinus lift via the osseodensification technique with simultaneous dental implant placement, utilizing xenograft alone as the grafting material. Aim of the Study: This study will be performed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of Theravex Tissue Care Plus (Bone Bioactive Liquid) as an adjunct to xenograft grafting in crestal maxillary sinus elevation with simultaneously implant placement using osseodensification technique. Research Question: In patients undergoing crestal maxillary sinus elevation via osseodensification, does adjunctive use of Theravex (bone bioactive liquid) with a xenograft enhance vertical bone gain, bone density, and implant stability compared to xenograft alone?
Interventions
Application of a grafting mixture consisting of an equine granulate xenograft hydrated with Theravex (Bone Bioactive Liquid) into the osteotomy site.
Application of an equine granulate xenograft alone into the osteotomy site.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) | Immediate post-operative and 3 months post-operative | ISQ will be recorded at baseline immediately post-operative. Repeating ISQ measurements will be taken for 3 months post-operatively to evaluate the transition from primary to secondary stability |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bone Density | Immediate post-operative and 6 months post-operative | Bone density will be assessed at 6 months using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Bone density at the apical region of the implant (the area of vertical bone gain) will be measured immediately and 6 months post-operatively using OnDemand 3D software. Values will be recorded in Hounsfield Units (HU), comparing pre-operative (via virtual implant) and post-operative scans. To determine the mean peri-implant bone density, measurements from four standardized reference points (mesial, distal, buccal, and palatal) will be averaged. |
| Vertical Bone Gain | Immediate post operative and 6 months after surgery | VBG will be assessed at baseline (immediate post operative and 6 months after surgery) Specialized 3D imaging software will be utilized to superimpose the pre-operative and immediate post-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. This digital superimposition will facilitate a precise comparison of dimensional changes at the specific implant sites, enabling accurate measurement and quantification of the vertical bone height achieved following the sinus elevation. |
| Oral-health-related quality of life OHIP-14 | Baseline (before surgery), 7 days, 3 months and 6 months post-operative. | Will be assessed using the OHIP-14 questionnaire |
