Cheekbone Implants With Two Tissue Coverage Methods
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your upper back teeth area has severe bone loss that cannot be fixed by other treatments
- You have at least 8–12 mm of bone height in the front upper jaw to place 2 standard implants
- You lack bone support in the back upper jaw due to sinus enlargement
- You are in good overall health and can safely have surgery
- You do not smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes or take certain bone-loss medications (bisphosphonates)

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 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.
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 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 trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
This trial tests a method to rebuild thin jawbones so they can support dental implants. It is for people who have lost a tooth and have had a previous implant or bone graft that didn't work.
