Bone growth using a special membrane for missing upper teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new plastic membrane to help grow back bone in the upper jaw where a tooth is missing. It may be a good option if you need a bone graft before getting a dental implant in the front of your mouth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing a tooth in the front upper jaw and the bone there is too thin for a dental implant.
- You are generally healthy and have no serious medical conditions that would slow healing.
- You do not smoke.
- You do not have severe gum disease or poor oral hygiene.
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or have uncontrolled diabetes.

This trial compares using small screws or a ring-shaped bone graft to rebuild a narrow upper jaw ridge so dental implants can be placed. It is for people who need a simple horizontal bone build-up in the front of the upper jaw.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
This trial tests a surgical technique to rebuild the jawbone in the front lower jaw. It uses a guided bone shell to make the ridge wider so dental implants can be placed later.
This trial compares two methods to widen the upper front jaw bone so dental implants can be placed. One method uses a piece of your own bone, the other uses the existing bone to create more space. The goal is to find which technique works best for people with a narrow jaw ridge.
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 compares two types of collagen membranes used in guided bone regeneration to rebuild jawbone so dental implants can be placed. If you need a bone graft for missing back teeth and are generally healthy, this trial may be a good fit.
