Comparing ways to rebuild jawbone for dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two different surgical methods to rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so that dental implants can be placed securely. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients with vertical bone loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing some teeth and have at least 3 millimeters of vertical bone loss in the area where implants are needed.
- If you are of childbearing age, you agree to use reliable birth control during the study and have a negative pregnancy test before starting.
- You are willing and able to give your written consent to participate.
- You have not had bone grafting or implant placement in the area being treated before.
- You do not smoke (including e-cigarettes), do not drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week, and have not used regular painkillers or antibiotics in the past month.
- You have good oral hygiene and no active mouth diseases, and you are not allergic to titanium.

This trial tests a new material to rebuild the jawbone where it has thinned out, so it can hold a dental implant. It may help people who need a stronger jawbone for tooth replacement.
This trial tests whether donated (allogenic) bone blocks work as well as your own bone to rebuild the jaw so dental implants can be placed. It's for people missing 1-4 teeth where the bone ridge is too thin.
This trial compares two types of membranes (PEEK vs PTFE) used in a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild the upper jawbone where teeth are missing. It may be an option for you if you need extra bone before getting dental implants.
This trial uses advanced 3D imaging to measure how well your jawbone heals after a tooth is removed, specifically for people who plan to get a dental implant later. It aims to understand natural bone regrowth without additional procedures.
This study tests a new material called HydroGraft to widen a thin lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. If you have a narrow jaw but enough bone height, this treatment might help make implants possible.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow lower jawbone using a special blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) to make room for a dental implant. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone width for implants.
