Bone graft particles to help dental implants fit in missing teeth areas
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a bone-grafting approach (using processed donor bone particles, with or without a growth factor) to help dental implants work when the jaw bone is too narrow. It may help people get implants placed more safely and effectively in areas with missing teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to understand the consent form (English).
- You must receive care as a patient of the UAB Dental School.
- You need dental implants to replace missing tooth/teeth in at least one back-and-front “quarter” of your mouth.
- Your jaw bone width must be 5 millimeters or less, based on an exam and CBCT scan.
- You should not be a smoker or heavy tobacco user (over 10 cigarettes per day).
- You should not have serious medical problems that make mouth surgery or healing unsafe, and you need good oral hygiene/compliance.

This study tests a new way to grow bone around dental implants using your own bone chips and a special growth factor. It may help dental implants integrate better and last longer.
This study tests a special type of donated tissue (called acellular dermal matrix) to help rebuild bone and gum in areas where teeth are missing. Researchers want to see how well this tissue helps prepare your jaw for future dental implants.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to build up the bone in the back of your upper jaw so you can get a dental implant. It uses a special bone graft material and your own blood components to help the bone grow.
This study tests a new way to place dental implants in your front upper teeth using bone-grafting material and a technique that preserves more of your natural tooth. Researchers will track how well your bone heals and how stable the implant becomes.
This trial tests whether donated (allogenic) bone blocks work as well as your own bone to rebuild the jaw so dental implants can be placed. It's for people missing 1-4 teeth where the bone ridge is too thin.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
