Bone growth with collagen membrane graft for jaw atrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, 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 synthetic membrane that helps your jawbone grow wider or taller so you can get dental implants. The membrane is placed during a minor surgical procedure and is designed to encourage your own bone to fill in the gap.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild bone in the back of the lower jaw so a dental implant can be placed. It uses your own blood to make a sticky bone graft, versus using a graft from cow bone with a collagen membrane.
