Comparing two bone-grafting methods with dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant along with a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild bone around the implant. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a single implant and have a small bone defect on the cheek side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a single dental implant to replace one missing tooth, with natural teeth on both sides.
- A 3D X-ray (CBCT) shows a bone defect on the cheek side of the implant site, but it's limited (less than half the bone height).
- The tooth was removed at least 4 months before the implant is placed.
- You are a non-smoker or smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes per day.
- You are generally healthy (no uncontrolled diabetes, no osteoporosis, no bisphosphonate medication) and have good oral hygiene.

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.
This study compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
This study compares two types of guided surgery methods for placing dental implants in the back of the jaw (where there are missing teeth). It aims to find which technique works better for patients who need implants in that area.
This trial tests whether placing a temporary tooth (immediate provisional denture) right after implant surgery helps improve bone growth around the implant. It is for people who need a front tooth replaced in the upper jaw and have good overall health.
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 study compares two different ways to place dental implants in people who are missing at least two teeth. It aims to see which method works better for long-term success.
