Comparing two bone-grafting methods for lower jaw implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two techniques to rebuild bone width in the lower jaw so you can get dental implants. It tests a 'tenting' method versus the 'Khoury' method to see which adds more bone volume.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have missing teeth in the lower jaw (molar or premolar area) and not enough bone width for an implant.
- You have enough bone height (at least 10 mm) for a dental implant but need more width.
- You are in good overall health and do not have conditions that slow healing, like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking (more than 10 cigarettes a day).
- You are willing to keep good oral hygiene and attend follow-up visits.

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 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 compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw when the bone is too thin for standard implants. It may help people who need an implant but have lost bone height.
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 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.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild bone in the back lower jaw using special barriers (custom 3D zirconia or titanium mesh) to support a dental implant. It may help if you have severe bone loss and want an implant.
