Guided bone shell technique for rebuilding narrow jawbone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique to rebuild the jawbone in the front lower jaw. It uses a guided bone shell to make the ridge wider so dental implants can be placed later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing at least two front teeth in your lower jaw
- Your jawbone in that area is narrow (2–4 mm wide)
- You have no serious health conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes or bone disease) that could affect healing
- You are not pregnant or nursing
- You are not a heavy smoker and have good oral hygiene
- You have not had bone grafting in that area before

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 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 trial compares two methods to widen the upper front jaw bone so dental implants can be placed. One method uses a piece of your own bone, the other uses the existing bone to create more space. The goal is to find which technique works best for people with a narrow jaw ridge.
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 trial tests a new plastic membrane to help grow back bone in the upper jaw where a tooth is missing. It may be a good option if you need a bone graft before getting a dental implant in the front of your mouth.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
