Computer-guided bone graft for thin lower jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of adding bone to a thin lower jaw before dental implants: one using a 3D computer guide to place a bone graft, and the other done by hand. The goal is to see which method gives a more accurate and predictable result, potentially leading to better implant placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 60 years old.
- You must be generally healthy, with no conditions that could slow down healing (like diabetes or bone diseases).
- You must be missing at least two front teeth in your lower jaw (the area between your canine teeth).
- Your lower jawbone in that area must be very thin (less than 3 mm wide) and also have a vertical gap of at least 3 mm.
- You must not have any cysts, abscesses, or infections in the jawbone that could interfere with healing.
- You must not have had any previous bone grafting in that exact area.

This study tests a surgical method to widen a narrow lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. It may help people who have lost teeth and need more bone support.
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 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 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.
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 study compares two types of bone graft materials used to rebuild the jawbone before placing a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for people with a thin jawbone, helping to support a new tooth.
