Bone grafting methods for dental implants in lower jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques for building up bone in the lower jaw where it is too thin for dental implants. The goal is to find which method gives a better foundation for placing implants, helping you get a secure and lasting tooth replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant in the jawbone to see which leads to less bone loss around the implant. It may help if you are missing a back tooth and have enough jawbone after a bone graft.
This study compares two ways of building up the jawbone before placing a dental implant in the upper front or premolar area. If you're missing one tooth and have enough healthy bone, it aims to see which method gives better long-term support for your new tooth.
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.
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 compares two surgical techniques for building up narrow jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate bone loss in your jaw.
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.
