Bone graft with or without RGD protein for jawbone widening
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow jawbone so a dental implant can be placed. It compares using a bone graft material alone versus mixing it with a special protein (RGD) to help the bone grow 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 trial tests a new surgical technique that widens narrow jaw bone and places dental implants at the same time, using special membranes made from growth factors to help healing. It may help patients who don't have enough bone width for standard implants.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for building up narrow jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate bone loss in your jaw.
This trial compares two methods to widen the upper front jaw bone so dental implants can be placed. One method uses a piece of your own bone, the other uses the existing bone to create more space. The goal is to find which technique works best for people with a narrow jaw ridge.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to build up the bone in the back of your upper jaw so you can get a dental implant. It uses a special bone graft material and your own blood components to help the bone grow.
This study tests a special gum-tissue dressing made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) to help heal your jawbone after it is widened. It may be an option if you need a dental implant but your lower jawbone is too narrow.
