Zygoma implants for severe upper jaw bone loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of dental implant that anchors into the cheekbone (zygoma) for people whose upper jaw has severe bone loss. It may help you get a fixed set of teeth even if you don't have enough bone for regular implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe bone loss in your upper jaw (classified as Cawood and Howell class V or VI).
- You are healthy enough for the implant to be loaded (attached to teeth) soon after placement.
- You do not have sinus problems, cheekbone disease, or a history of frequent sinus infections.
- You do not have uncontrolled medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease.
- You are not a moderate or heavy smoker (no more than 5 cigarettes a day).

This trial compares two surgical techniques using tissue from the cheek or the roof of the mouth to improve gum health around special implants placed in the cheekbone. It may be an option if you have severe bone loss in your upper jaw and need implants but don't have enough bone for standard ones.
This study tests a new surgical technique for placing cheekbone implants (zygomatic implants) in people who have severe bone loss in the upper back teeth area. The new method may help place the implant more securely and could be an option if regular implants are not possible.
This study tests a new type of zygomatic (cheekbone) dental implant for people who have lost many teeth and have severe bone loss in the upper jaw. The goal is to see how well the implant works and if it stays safe over time.
This study tests whether adding bone marrow cells (taken from your hip) around a zygomatic implant helps improve bone density in your upper jaw. The goal is to see if this approach makes the implant more stable and successful.
This study compares two surgical methods to cover zygomatic implants (special anchor posts for teeth) in patients with severe jawbone loss. Researchers will measure how much soft tissue (gum and fat) builds up over the implants to see which method produces better, longer-lasting results.
This trial compares two ways to cover and support cheekbone implants (zygomatic implants) in patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. The study tests whether a natural fat pad from your cheek or a special fibrin product (made from your own blood) works better to protect the implant and keep soft tissue thickness stable.
