Soft Tissue Coverage for Zygomatic Implants in Jaw Bone Loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have severe bone loss in your upper jaw (maxilla)
- Your bone loss is from injury, disease, or previous surgery—not natural aging alone
- You need zygomatic implants to support a fixed tooth bridge or denture
- You can open your mouth wide enough for implant placement surgery
- You commit to follow-up visits and can sign a consent form

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 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 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 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 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.
