This trial tests a new type of dental implant that sits on top of the jawbone under the gums, which may help people who have severe bone loss in the upper jaw and cannot get regular implants.
This trial tests a custom-made titanium bone implant created with 3D printing technology to repair bone defects. The implant is designed to fit your exact anatomy, which may improve surgical outcomes and recovery.
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.
This trial uses advanced 3D imaging to measure how well your jawbone heals after a tooth is removed, specifically for people who plan to get a dental implant later. It aims to understand natural bone regrowth without additional procedures.
This study looks at how well a custom-made 3D printed bone graft helps heal the jawbone after dental surgery. Patients who already had this treatment will be evaluated to see how the bone has grown and healed.
This trial tests a new material to rebuild the jawbone where it has thinned out, so it can hold a dental implant. It may help people who need a stronger jawbone for tooth replacement.
