Two surgical methods for adding bone to the front upper jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods (a 'regular' flap vs. a 'vestibular' flap) for adding bone to the front upper jaw. It aims to see which method gives better bone growth, which could help support dental implants or improve the shape of your jaw.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a bone defect in the front part of your upper jaw (the area behind your upper lip).
- You must be between 21 and 75 years old.
- You need to have good overall dental health (no active gum disease).
- You must be a non-smoker.
- You should not have an uncontrolled health condition that could make surgery risky.

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 trial tests using a small piece of bone from your lower jaw to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can hold a dental implant. It compares using the bone alone versus covering it with a collagen membrane to see which works better.
This trial compares using small screws or a ring-shaped bone graft to rebuild a narrow upper jaw ridge so dental implants can be placed. It is for people who need a simple horizontal bone build-up in the front of the upper jaw.
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 trial tests different mixtures of your own bone and donor bone to rebuild the jaw where teeth are missing, so dental implants can fit. It aims to find the best combination for strong, lasting results.
This study compares two ways of adding bone to a thin lower jaw before dental implants: one using a 3D computer guide to place a bone graft, and the other done by hand. The goal is to see which method gives a more accurate and predictable result, potentially leading to better implant placement.
