Bone growth with collagen membrane graft for jaw atrophy
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies a new technique to help build up bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) that has become thin. It uses a special membrane and graft material to encourage bone growth, which may help people who need dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have thinning of the upper jaw bone on at least one side (the area of about one back tooth).
- You have not had any previous surgery or treatment on the jaw area being studied or on the donor site.
- You do not have any genetic syndromes that affect bone or growth.
- You do not have any diseases that affect how your body processes bone (like severe osteoporosis or metabolic bone disease).

This trial tests using a small piece of bone from your lower jaw to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can hold a dental implant. It compares using the bone alone versus covering it with a collagen membrane to see which works better.
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 a method to rebuild thin jawbones so they can support dental implants. It is for people who have lost a tooth and have had a previous implant or bone graft that didn't work.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a narrow upper jaw bone: using a bone block from your skull (calvarial) versus one from your hip (iliac crest). It may help if you need more bone for future dental implants.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to build up the bone in the back of your upper jaw so you can get a dental implant. It uses a special bone graft material and your own blood components to help the bone grow.
This trial tests a new synthetic membrane to help grow bone in the jaw so you can get a dental implant. It's for people who are missing teeth and have too little bone for a standard implant.
