New surgical method for zygomatic implants in severe bone loss
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical method for placing zygomatic implants in people with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. It may help those who need implants but don't have enough bone for standard implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 21 years.
- You have severe bone loss in the back of your upper jaw (less than 5 mm of bone height).
- More than half of the implant platform sits inside your jawbone.
- You do not have any serious health problem that would make anesthesia unsafe.
- You do not have conditions that stop you from getting implants, like radiation to the head and neck, IV bisphosphonates, or uncontrolled diabetes.
- You do not have a sinus infection or cyst in your upper sinus, and your mouth opens at least 3 cm.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares two types of surgical guides (metallic and resin-based) to help dentists place zygomatic implants—special dental anchors used when the upper jaw bone is severely worn down. The goal is to see which guide method places these implants more accurately.
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 trial tests whether using bone marrow cells (BMAC) around zygomatic implants helps improve bone density. It may benefit patients needing these special implants in the upper jaw.
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.
This trial tests a special type of dental implant called a 'pterygoid implant' for people who have very little bone in the upper back jaw. It may be a good option for you if you can't get regular implants or a sinus lift due to severe bone loss.
