Bone graft for back jaw dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a bone-building technique for people missing back teeth in the lower jaw. It aims to make the jawbone wide enough for dental implants, which could help you chew more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not take medications like bisphosphonates or long-term steroids.

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.
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 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 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 different mixtures of your own bone and donor bone to rebuild the jaw where teeth are missing, so dental implants can fit. It aims to find the best combination for strong, lasting results.
This study compares two surgical techniques for building up bone in the lower jaw where it is too thin for dental implants. The goal is to find which method gives a better foundation for placing implants, helping you get a secure and lasting tooth replacement.
