Dental implants with or without bone grafting for upper jaw
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
