Upper jaw implant placement with two methods to support missing teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing dental implants in the upper jaw when there is not enough bone. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective for people with thin jawbones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing upper back teeth and need dental implants.
- Your jawbone in that area is thinner than normal, measuring about 5 to 6 millimeters in height.
- You have at least 2 millimeters of healthy gum tissue around the area.
- You maintain good oral hygiene and are committed to follow-up visits.
- You are not a smoker, not pregnant, and free of active gum disease or sinus problems.

This study compares two ways to place dental implants in the upper jaw when there isn't much bone. One way uses bone grafting material, the other doesn't. It aims to see which method works better for people with a thin upper jaw.
This study compares two techniques for placing dental implants in a narrow upper jaw. Both methods aim to widen the bone so a standard implant can be placed, potentially avoiding the need for a separate bone graft.
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 study compares two ways to replace missing teeth in the back of the upper jaw: using a very short implant (4 mm) or a slightly longer implant (8 mm) with a bone graft. The goal is to see which approach gives better results and how patients feel afterwards.
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.
This study tests a shorter type of dental implant for people who don't have enough bone in their upper back jaw. It aims to see if these implants work well for supporting teeth without needing a bigger surgery.
