Bone graft materials for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of bone graft materials used to rebuild the jawbone before placing a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for people with a thin jawbone, helping to support a new tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be 18 years or older.
- You must be getting a dental implant and need bone grafting because your jawbone is too thin (4 mm or less).
- The bone graft site must have been healed for at least 6–8 weeks after any tooth removal (no immediate implants).
- You are a non-smoker or smoke no more than 10 cigarettes per day (heavy smokers are excluded).
- You are in overall good health, without uncontrolled diabetes, weakened immune system, or certain bone medications.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the head or neck, and have no untreated gum disease.

This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant along with a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild bone around the implant. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a single implant and have a small bone defect on the cheek side.
This study tests a bone-grafting approach (using processed donor bone particles, with or without a growth factor) to help dental implants work when the jaw bone is too narrow. It may help people get implants placed more safely and effectively in areas with missing teeth.
This study tests two types of membranes used to grow bone in the lower jaw before placing dental implants. Participation lasts about one year and involves a bone-regrowth procedure to prepare for implants.
This study tests a special tissue graft material that helps rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so you can get dental implants later. It aims to see how well this material works and how your body responds to it.
This study compares two ways of building up the jawbone before placing a dental implant in the upper front or premolar area. If you're missing one tooth and have enough healthy bone, it aims to see which method gives better long-term support for your new tooth.
