Comparing two implant methods for thin upper jaw bone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw when the bone is too thin for standard implants. It may help people who need an implant but have lost bone height.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have missing back upper teeth and the bone there is only 5 to 6 mm tall (thin).
- You have at least 2 mm of healthy, firm gum tissue in that area.
- You do not smoke and are not pregnant.
- Your general health is good (no major medical conditions or active gum disease).

This trial compares very short (4 mm) implants to slightly longer (8 mm) implants with a bone graft in the back upper jaw. It aims to see which option works better for holding a dental bridge, potentially avoiding a sinus lift procedure.
This trial tests two surgical methods to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can support dental implants. It compares using a solid block of your own bone versus a thin shell of bone to widen the ridge.
This study tests two ways to place dental implants in the upper back jaw where there is not enough bone. It compares using a bone graft material versus not using one, to see which approach works better.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant in the jawbone to see which leads to less bone loss around the implant. It may help if you are missing a back tooth and have enough jawbone after a bone graft.
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 trial tests a way to place dental implants in the upper jaw where bone is thin (4-6 mm height) without needing a bone graft. It uses special self-tapping implants to lift the sinus floor gently through the implant site.
