One stage ridge splitting in the lower jaw
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have enough jawbone height (at least 8 mm) in your lower jaw.
- Your jawbone width is between 3 and 5 mm.
- You are missing at least one tooth, or a previous implant failed.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day.
- You do not have a bone disease or metabolic condition that affects healing (like uncontrolled diabetes).

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.
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 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.
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.
