Custom 3D-printed mesh for jawbone regrowth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is testing a custom-made titanium mesh (built with a 3D printer) to help regrow bone in your jaw where teeth are missing. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe bone loss and need a strong foundation for dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing one or more teeth and need a bone graft to rebuild the jawbone.
- Your bone loss is moderate to severe — the remaining bone ridge is very thin (1 mm to 3 mm wide).
- The bone next to your missing tooth is healthy (no infection, and no nearby tooth roots or nerves).
- You are not allergic to metals, do not have poorly controlled diabetes or serious liver/kidney disease, and are not on long-term steroids.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have a history of drug/alcohol abuse.

This study tests two types of membranes used to grow bone in the lower jaw before placing dental implants. Participation lasts about one year and involves a bone-regrowth procedure to prepare for implants.
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 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.
This trial tests a new method to help people who have lost bone in the upper jaw get dental implants. If your jawbone is too thin, they will use a small titanium mesh to support the sinus lining and make room for an implant.
This trial tests two different metal mesh frames used to rebuild bone in the jaw before placing a dental implant. If you need a bone graft for a missing tooth, this study may help find the best option for you.
This study tests a new 3D-printed zirconia barrier to see if it helps grow bone better than a standard titanium mesh. It may be an option if you need more jawbone for dental implants.
