3D dental implants for severe bone loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of dental implant that sits on top of the jawbone under the gums, which may help people who have severe bone loss in the upper jaw and cannot get regular implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a 3D CT scan (not a 2D X-ray) of your upper jaw
- Your upper jawbone is severely shrunken (classified as Class 4 or 5)
- You have no natural teeth left in your upper jaw (edentulous)

This trial tests a 3D-printed scaffold that dissolves over time to help regrow jawbone for dental implants. It is for people in Valdivia, Chile, who need bone buildup in the lower jaw.
This trial is testing a type of dental implant for people missing one or more teeth in the back of the jaw. It aims to see how well the implant holds up over time and whether the surrounding bone stays healthy.
This study compares two ways of adding bone to a thin lower jaw before dental implants: one using a 3D computer guide to place a bone graft, and the other done by hand. The goal is to see which method gives a more accurate and predictable result, potentially leading to better implant placement.
This trial tests a special type of dental implant (pterygoid implant) guided by 3D technology for people with severe bone loss in the upper back jaw. The implant anchors into a deeper bone area, avoiding the need for sinus lift surgery.
This trial tests a fully digital method for placing dental implants in people who are missing all teeth on one or both jaws. It aims to see if the digital approach is accurate and reliable.
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.
