Guided bone technique for rebuilding the lower jaw
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a surgical method to widen a narrow lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. It may help people who have lost teeth and need more bone support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have two or more missing teeth in the front part of your lower jaw.
- Your jawbone in that area is narrow (about 2 to 4 mm wide).
- You are generally healthy, without conditions that affect bone healing.
- You have not had radiation to the head or neck in the past year.
- You do not have untreated gum disease, poor oral hygiene, or uncontrolled diabetes.
- You are not pregnant or nursing, and you do not smoke heavily.

This study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
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 study tests whether a custom-made porous zirconia shell can help grow new bone in a narrow lower jaw so a dental implant can be placed. It might be a good option if you have a missing back tooth and need more jawbone for an implant.
This study compares two ways of adding bone to a thin lower jaw before dental implants: one using a 3D computer guide to place a bone graft, and the other done by hand. The goal is to see which method gives a more accurate and predictable result, potentially leading to better implant placement.
This study compares two techniques for placing dental implants in a narrow upper jaw. Both methods aim to widen the bone so a standard implant can be placed, potentially avoiding the need for a separate bone graft.
This study tests a new material called HydroGraft to widen a thin lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. If you have a narrow jaw but enough bone height, this treatment might help make implants possible.
