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 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 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 study follows patients over time after receiving a custom 3D-printed bone graft to rebuild jawbone. It looks at how well the graft works and how the bone heals.
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 trial tests a custom-made, 3D-printed skull implant to repair missing bone in the head (cranioplasty). It may help people who have a bone defect larger than 1 cm and are in generally good health.
