Bone Grafting Methods for Upper Jaw Implants
Part of 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 compares two types of bone graft materials used to rebuild the jawbone before placing a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for people with a thin jawbone, helping to support a new tooth.
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 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 less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
This trial tests a new type of bone graft material for opening the upper-jaw sinus to make room for dental implants. It is for people with very little bone in the back of the upper jaw who need implants for missing teeth.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a narrow upper jaw bone: using a bone block from your skull (calvarial) versus one from your hip (iliac crest). It may help if you need more bone for future dental implants.
