Bone Grafting Methods for Upper Jaw Implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have part or all of your upper teeth missing.
- The bone where a new tooth would go is only about 2 to 4 millimeters wide.
- You are generally healthy and not taking medicines like steroids, bisphosphonates, or chemo/radiation that affect bone healing.
- You don't smoke heavily, drink heavily, or have habits like teeth grinding that could harm a dental implant.

This study tests two types of membranes used to grow bone in the lower jaw before placing dental implants. Participation lasts about one year and involves a bone-regrowth procedure to prepare for implants.
This trial tests whether a new bone grafting material (A-Oss) combined with a special membrane works as well as A-Oss with your own bone for rebuilding jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more jawbone width to support a single implant in the upper or lower jaw.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to place dental implants in your front upper teeth using bone-grafting material and a technique that preserves more of your natural tooth. Researchers will track how well your bone heals and how stable the implant becomes.
This trial compares two types of bone graft materials to rebuild bone width in the front upper jaw before placing a dental implant. One option uses a mix of your own bone and donor bone, the other uses a special 'sticky bone' that is made just for you.
