Comparing guided vs. freehand bone grafting for the lower front jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of rebuilding bone in the front part of the lower jaw using the patient's own bone. It aims to see if using a computer-guided method gives better results than the traditional freehand technique. This could help people who need dental implants but don't have enough bone width or height.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 60 years old.
- You are missing at least two teeth next to each other in the front part of your lower jaw.
- The ridge of bone where teeth are missing is less than 3mm wide (quite narrow).
- The bone height in that area is at least 3mm less than ideal.
- You do not have any serious health conditions or bone diseases that could affect healing.
- You have not had a bone graft before in that area, and there are no cysts or infections there now.

This trial compares a computer-guided technique versus a free-hand method to widen a narrow jawbone in the lower back mouth. If you have a thin jawbone and need dental implants, this study tests a more precise way to create enough space for them.
This trial tests a surgical technique to rebuild the jawbone in the front lower jaw. It uses a guided bone shell to make the ridge wider so dental implants can be placed later.
This trial tests two surgical methods to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can support dental implants. It compares using a solid block of your own bone versus a thin shell of bone to widen the ridge.
This trial tests a bone grafting technique to rebuild the jawbone in the back of the lower jaw, making it thick enough for dental implants. It may help people who have lost teeth in that area and need more bone to support implants.
This trial compares two types of bone graft materials used when a front tooth is removed and replaced with a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for healing and long-term success.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild bone in the back lower jaw using special barriers (custom 3D zirconia or titanium mesh) to support a dental implant. It may help if you have severe bone loss and want an implant.
