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 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 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 study tests a special gum-tissue dressing made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) to help heal your jawbone after it is widened. It may be an option if you need a dental implant but your lower jawbone is too narrow.
