Comparing two bone grafting methods for dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for building up narrow jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate bone loss in your jaw.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrow jawbone that is 2 to 3.5 millimeters wide.
- You have already had a working dental implant in place for at least 3 months.
- Your gums are healthy with no defects or sores.
- You have no serious medical conditions that could affect healing.
- You have good oral hygiene at your checkup.

This trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
This trial tests two techniques for widening a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed, all in one surgery. It is for people who have lost at least one tooth and have a bone width between 3 and 5 mm.
This study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow lower jawbone using a special blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) to make room for a dental implant. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone width for implants.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant in the jawbone to see which leads to less bone loss around the implant. It may help if you are missing a back tooth and have enough jawbone after a bone graft.
This trial tests whether narrow dental implants can preserve jaw bone better than standard implants with bone grafting in people missing back teeth. If you have a narrow jawbone, this study may help determine which option works best for you.
