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 trial compares two methods to widen the upper front jaw bone so dental implants can be placed. One method uses a piece of your own bone, the other uses the existing bone to create more space. The goal is to find which technique works best for people with a narrow jaw ridge.
This trial tests a surgical technique to rebuild the jawbone in the front lower jaw. It uses a guided bone shell to make the ridge wider so dental implants can be placed later.
This trial tests a new plastic membrane to help grow back bone in the upper jaw where a tooth is missing. It may be a good option if you need a bone graft before getting a dental implant in the front of your mouth.
This trial compares a computer-guided technique versus a free-hand method to widen a narrow jawbone in the lower back mouth. If you have a thin jawbone and need dental implants, this study tests a more precise way to create enough space for them.
This trial tests two surgical methods to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can support dental implants. It compares using a solid block of your own bone versus a thin shell of bone to widen the ridge.
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.
