Chin Bone Rings for Dental Implants in Back Teeth
Part of 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.
Who can take part
- You need a dental implant in a back upper tooth (premolar or molar area)
- Your upper jaw bone is very thin (4 mm or less height) based on a CT scan
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your general health is controlled and stable (no uncontrolled diseases)
- You have good oral hygiene and can follow post-surgery care instructions
- You are not pregnant, not a heavy smoker (10+ cigarettes daily), and have no active sinus infections or jaw clenching problems

This study tests a new, less invasive way to build up the bone in the back of your upper jaw so you can get a dental implant. It uses a special bone graft material and your own blood components to help the bone grow.
This study compares two ways to rebuild a narrow lower jawbone so you can get dental implants. One method uses a special bone shell technique, and the other uses a strong fabric material. Your doctor will check if your jawbone is wide enough and healthy for this surgery.
This trial tests a technique to rebuild bone in the upper jaw at the back (premolar and molar areas) during dental implant placement. It may be a good option if you have low bone height but enough bone width for the procedure.
This study tests a procedure called a lateral sinus lift to build up bone in the upper jaw before placing dental implants. It is for people who are missing multiple teeth in the back of the upper jaw and have minimal remaining bone height.
This trial tests a special type of dental implant called a 'pterygoid implant' for people who have very little bone in the upper back jaw. It may be a good option for you if you can't get regular implants or a sinus lift due to severe bone loss.
This trial tests a bone grafting technique to rebuild the jawbone in the back of the lower jaw, making it thick enough for dental implants. It may help people who have lost teeth in that area and need more bone to support implants.
