Ridge splitting in the upper jaw for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have at least 8 mm of bone height in your upper jaw.
- Your upper jawbone must be 3 to 5 mm wide at the narrowest point.
- You must be missing at least one tooth in your upper jaw.
- You may have had implants that failed before.
- You cannot be a heavy smoker (more than 20 cigarettes a day).
- You cannot have uncontrolled diabetes, active cancer treatment, or bone disease that affects healing.

This trial tests two techniques for widening a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed, all in one surgery. It is for people who have lost at least one tooth and have a bone width between 3 and 5 mm.
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 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 a new technique to make the upper jaw wide enough for dental implants. It may help people who need implants for missing upper back teeth but don't have enough bone width.
This study compares two bone-building products used to repair a missing “bone wall” in the jaw so dental implants can be placed. You may be able to help find which material works better for guided bone regeneration and implant readiness.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow lower jawbone using a special blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) to make room for a dental implant. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone width for implants.
