Screws vs bone grafts for horizontal jaw ridge repair
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares using small screws or a ring-shaped bone graft to rebuild a narrow upper jaw ridge so dental implants can be placed. It is for people who need a simple horizontal bone build-up in the front of the upper jaw.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a horizontal bone defect less than 4mm in the front part of your upper jaw
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have good oral hygiene
- You have not had any previous bone-building surgery in that area
- You can understand and agree to the study

This study tests a surgical method to widen a narrow lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. It may help people who have lost teeth and need more bone support.
This study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
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.
This trial tests different mixtures of your own bone and donor bone to rebuild the jaw where teeth are missing, so dental implants can fit. It aims to find the best combination for strong, lasting results.
This study tests a new material called HydroGraft to widen a thin lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. If you have a narrow jaw but enough bone height, this treatment might help make implants possible.
This study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
