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 technique for placing cheekbone implants (zygomatic implants) in people who have severe bone loss in the upper back teeth area. The new method may help place the implant more securely and could be an option if regular implants are not possible.
This study tests whether adding bone marrow cells (taken from your hip) around a zygomatic implant helps improve bone density in your upper jaw. The goal is to see if this approach makes the implant more stable and successful.
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 two ways to rebuild bone in the back of the lower jaw so a dental implant can be placed. It uses your own blood to make a sticky bone graft, versus using a graft from cow bone with a collagen membrane.
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.
