Bone-window dental procedure for missing back upper tooth
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how to place bone support for an upper back tooth replacement when part of the upper jaw bone is limited. If you’re missing one upper back tooth for at least 3 months, they may use a specific “bone window” approach guided by a 3D scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one missing back upper (maxillary posterior) tooth for 3+ months
- Your gum/space measurement is at least 4 mm where the tooth is missing
- Your remaining upper-jaw bone is very low in height (≤ 5 mm) but wide enough (bone width ≥ 6 mm)
- You are generally healthy and can sign the consent form
- You have a clear, complete CBCT 3D X-ray scan with no scan problems that block measurements

This pilot study tests a modified technique to add bone in the upper jaw area (the sinus floor) so dental implants may be possible. You may be considered if you have a small amount of remaining bone height and enough bone width, and you do not have certain infections or risk factors.
This study compares two ways to build up bone in the upper jaw for dental implants. You may qualify if you need a sinus lift and have healthy gums and overall health.
This study tests a surgery to build up bone in the upper jaw where teeth are missing. It may help people who need more bone to get dental implants later.
This trial tests a new type of bone graft material for opening the upper-jaw sinus to make room for dental implants. It is for people with very little bone in the back of the upper jaw who need implants for missing teeth.
This study compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw where bone is limited. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective for people missing teeth in that area.
This study compares two ways of building up the jawbone before placing a dental implant in the upper front or premolar area. If you're missing one tooth and have enough healthy bone, it aims to see which method gives better long-term support for your new tooth.
