Bone growth for lower jaw implants using a custom shell
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a missing tooth or teeth in the back part of your lower jaw and need more bone to support a dental implant.
