Comparing freeze-dried donor bone vs. your own bone for jaw grafting
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of bone graft materials for rebuilding the jawbone so you can later get dental implants. One is a freeze-dried bone from a donor (allograft), and the other is a small piece of your own bone (autograft).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.

- You do not smoke.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not taking medications that affect bone healing (like steroids or bisphosphonates).

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 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 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 trial tests whether a dentin graft (made from tooth) or a mineralized graft works better for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is removed in the upper back area. Your participation could help doctors find the best way to keep the bone strong and ready for future implants.
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.
This trial tests a new type of bone graft made from donated teeth to help preserve the jawbone after multiple teeth are pulled. It aims to see if this natural material helps the bone heal better than standard treatments.
