Chin Bone Rings for Dental Implants in Back Teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This surgery uses a special bone ring taken from your chin to build up bone in your back upper jaw, so dental implants can be placed in one procedure instead of two. This may reduce surgery time and help your implants succeed better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two techniques for placing dental implants in a narrow upper jaw. Both methods aim to widen the bone so a standard implant can be placed, potentially avoiding the need for a separate bone graft.
This study looks at how to place bone support for an upper back tooth replacement when part of the upper jaw bone is limited. If you’re missing one upper back tooth for at least 3 months, they may use a specific “bone window” approach guided by a 3D scan.
This study compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw where bone is limited. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective for people missing teeth in that area.
This study tests a bone-building technique for people missing back teeth in the lower jaw. It aims to make the jawbone wide enough for dental implants, which could help you chew more comfortably.
This study compares two ways to replace missing teeth in the back of the upper jaw: using a very short implant (4 mm) or a slightly longer implant (8 mm) with a bone graft. The goal is to see which approach gives better results and how patients feel afterwards.
This study tests a shorter type of dental implant for people who don't have enough bone in their upper back jaw. It aims to see if these implants work well for supporting teeth without needing a bigger surgery.
