Bone graft for narrow upper jaw before dental implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are missing one or two teeth in the back of your upper jaw and need a dental implant.
- The bone in that area is too narrow (less than 5 mm wide) but has enough height (at least 8 mm).
- You have healthy gums with at least 2 mm of thick tissue in the area.
- You do not smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or other conditions that could affect healing (like recent cancer treatment, pregnancy, or taking certain bone medications).

This study compares two ways to rebuild a narrow lower jawbone so you can get dental implants. One method uses a special bone shell technique, and the other uses a strong fabric material. Your doctor will check if your jawbone is wide enough and healthy for this surgery.
This trial tests two surgical methods to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can support dental implants. It compares using a solid block of your own bone versus a thin shell of bone to widen the ridge.
This trial tests whether donated (allogenic) bone blocks work as well as your own bone to rebuild the jaw so dental implants can be placed. It's for people missing 1-4 teeth where the bone ridge is too thin.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a tooth, using a small piece of bone from the back of your upper jaw to rebuild the gum area. It may help people who need a front tooth replaced and have a bone defect that requires this type of graft.
This early-stage trial tests a lab-made product from stem cell cultures to improve how well bone grows after bone grafting in the upper jaw. If you need sinus lift bone augmentation for implant-supported dentures, this may help your graft heal and integrate better.
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.
