Comparing donor vs. patient bone grafts for jawbone repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing 1 to 4 teeth and want dental implants.
- Your jawbone at the implant site is less than 5 millimeters wide (measured by a special CT scan).
- You are in good general health and not allergic to antibiotics.
- You are a non-smoker, a light smoker (10 or fewer per day), or quit smoking at least 5 years ago.
- Your gums are healthy, with low bleeding and plaque scores, and you have at least one natural tooth next to the missing tooth area.
- You are 18 years or older.

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 whether a special bone graft made from donated teeth works as well as a graft made from your own teeth to preserve the bone after wisdom tooth removal. It may help you keep more bone in your jaw for future dental work.
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 trial tests whether material made from extracted teeth can help bone regrow in the jaw after tooth removal, so you can get a dental implant. Researchers will compare this new approach to see if it works better for rebuilding bone in areas where teeth need to be replaced.
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).
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.
