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.

- 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 compares two types of bone graft materials used to rebuild the jawbone before placing a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for people with a thin jawbone, helping to support a new tooth.
This trial looks at a better way to place dental implants by using your own bone chips and a special blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow around the implant. It may be an option if you need a tooth replaced but have good overall health and healthy gums.
This study tests a special tissue graft material that helps rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so you can get dental implants later. It aims to see how well this material works and how your body responds to it.
This study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
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.
