Bone graft material for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a special tissue graft material that helps rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so you can get dental implants later. It aims to see how well this material works and how your body responds to it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) and speak English.
- You are a patient at the UAB Dental School.
- You need a bone graft to widen your jawbone for future dental implants, but you are not getting the implants at the same time.
- You have healthy teeth or dental implants next to the missing tooth area, or teeth that will be removed at the same visit.
- Your jawbone is narrow (4 mm or less) in the area where the graft is needed.
- You do not smoke or use any nicotine products, and you are not pregnant or have uncontrolled diabetes, untreated gum disease, or other conditions that affect healing.

This study compares two methods of using donated skin tissue (acellular dermis) to build up gum thickness around a dental implant. If your gums are too thin or tight, this extra tissue may help the implant blend in naturally and stay healthy.
This study tests a bone-grafting approach (using processed donor bone particles, with or without a growth factor) to help dental implants work when the jaw bone is too narrow. It may help people get implants placed more safely and effectively in areas with missing teeth.
This study tests a gum-repair approach that may help create more durable, firm gum tissue around teeth or dental implants. If your area lacks “keratinized” (firmer, protective) gum tissue, this could improve comfort and stability after dental work.
This study compares two types of bone graft materials used to rebuild the jawbone before placing a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for people with a thin jawbone, helping to support a new tooth.
This study compares two types of collagen membranes used in guided bone regeneration to rebuild jawbone so dental implants can be placed. If you need a bone graft for missing back teeth and are generally healthy, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
