Skull vs hip bone graft for upper jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a narrow upper jaw bone: using a bone block from your skull (calvarial) versus one from your hip (iliac crest). It may help if you need more bone for future dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrow upper jaw ridge (less than 5 mm wide) that needs bone grafting.
- You haven't had any previous surgery to rebuild your upper jaw or any dental implants.
- You don't have any medical condition or infection that could affect how your bone heals.

This trial tests using a small piece of bone from your lower jaw to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can hold a dental implant. It compares using the bone alone versus covering it with a collagen membrane to see which works better.
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 study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
This trial studies a new technique to help build up bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) that has become thin. It uses a special membrane and graft material to encourage bone growth, which may help people who need dental implants.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild the upper gum area in children with a cleft on both sides. One method uses a single solid piece of bone from the hip, the other uses smaller bone chips. The goal is to find which works better for a strong, healthy result.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild bone in the back of the lower jaw so a dental implant can be placed. It uses your own blood to make a sticky bone graft, versus using a graft from cow bone with a collagen membrane.
