Widening the upper jaw for dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two techniques for placing dental implants in a narrow upper jaw. Both methods aim to widen the bone so a standard implant can be placed, potentially avoiding the need for a separate bone graft.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
