Bone graft for upper jaw using jawbone blocks
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least 8 mm of bone height in your upper jaw where the tooth is missing.
- The width of the bone in that area is 5 mm or less.
- You are missing at least one tooth in your upper jaw.
- You have had a dental implant that failed or a previous bone graft that did not work.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You do not smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day and have no alcohol or drug abuse problems.

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 a new type of bone graft material for opening the upper-jaw sinus to make room for dental implants. It is for people with very little bone in the back of the upper jaw who need implants for missing teeth.
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 study tests a new, less invasive way to build up the bone in the back of your upper jaw so you can get a dental implant. It uses a special bone graft material and your own blood components to help the bone grow.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a narrow upper jaw bone: using a bone block from your skull (calvarial) versus one from your hip (iliac crest). It may help if you need more bone for future dental implants.
This study tests a new way to place dental implants in your front upper teeth using bone-grafting material and a technique that preserves more of your natural tooth. Researchers will track how well your bone heals and how stable the implant becomes.
