Using platelet-rich fibrin to widen the jawbone for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow lower jawbone using a special blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) to make room for a dental implant. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone width for implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You need a narrow lower jawbone in the back (about 3 to 6 millimeters wide) but with enough height for an implant.
- You must have good oral hygiene and be willing to come back for follow-up visits.
- You should be in good overall health — no uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding problems, or serious bone disorders.
- You shouldn't be a heavy smoker or have habits like teeth grinding or clenching.
- You need enough space in your mouth for the future tooth replacement.

This trial tests two techniques for widening a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed, all in one surgery. It is for people who have lost at least one tooth and have a bone width between 3 and 5 mm.
This trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
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 tests a technique to place dental implants in a narrow jawbone by gently splitting it and using special membranes made from your own blood to help healing. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone for standard implants.
This study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
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.
