Marrow cells around cheekbone implant to improve bone density
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have a zygomatic implant (a special dental implant placed in the cheekbone) to replace missing upper back teeth.
- You must be willing to give written consent to take part.
- You cannot be pregnant, have had radiation therapy, or have other conditions that make surgery risky.
- You must not have bone marrow diseases, sinus infections, or cancers in the upper jaw.
- You cannot be a heavy smoker (more than 20 cigarettes a day) or take bisphosphonate medications.

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 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 trial studies a new technique to help build up bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) that has become thin. It uses a special membrane and graft material to encourage bone growth, which may help people who need dental implants.
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 trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This study tests a surgery to build up bone in the upper jaw where teeth are missing. It may help people who need more bone to get dental implants later.
