Comparing ways to rebuild shrunken jawbone for dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests different methods of building up shrunken jawbone so there is enough bone to place a dental implant. It is for people with missing teeth who have not had this kind of surgery before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one missing tooth and the jawbone in that area is shorter than normal by at least 3 millimeters.
- You have not had any previous bone-building surgery or dental implant placement in that exact spot.
- You do not currently smoke or use e-cigarettes, and you drink fewer than 14 alcoholic drinks per week.
- Your mouth is generally healthy, with no active gum disease or heavy plaque buildup.
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you agree to use birth control and have a negative pregnancy test before starting.

This study compares two ways to rebuild a narrow lower jawbone so you can get dental implants. One method uses a special bone shell technique, and the other uses a strong fabric material. Your doctor will check if your jawbone is wide enough and healthy for this surgery.
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 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 tests two ways to rebuild bone in the back lower jaw using special barriers (custom 3D zirconia or titanium mesh) to support a dental implant. It may help if you have severe bone loss and want an implant.
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 tests a method to rebuild thin jawbones so they can support dental implants. It is for people who have lost a tooth and have had a previous implant or bone graft that didn't work.
