Comparing two membranes for jawbone grafting before dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of membranes (PEEK vs PTFE) used in a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild the upper jawbone where teeth are missing. It may be an option for you if you need extra bone before getting dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 45 years old.
- You have one or more missing teeth in the upper front area, and the jawbone there is too thin or short (less than 6 mm wide or 8 mm tall).
- You have good oral hygiene (healthy gums and teeth).
- You do not smoke.
- You have not taken bisphosphonate drugs (like for bone thinning) or had radiation or chemotherapy.
- You have no uncontrolled medical problems or medicines that affect bone healing.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new synthetic membrane that helps your jawbone grow wider or taller so you can get dental implants. The membrane is placed during a minor surgical procedure and is designed to encourage your own bone to fill in the gap.
This trial tests a method to rebuild thin jawbones so they can support dental implants. It is for people who have lost a tooth and have had a previous implant or bone graft that didn't work.
This trial tests whether a dentin graft (made from tooth) or a mineralized graft works better for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is removed in the upper back area. Your participation could help doctors find the best way to keep the bone strong and ready for future implants.
This trial tests whether using a special protein-rich blood product (ALB-PRF) with two different types of putty-like bone grafts helps improve the success of dental implants placed right after a tooth is removed in the front upper jaw. It may help people who need a tooth replaced in the 'smile zone' and have good oral health.
This trial tests two types of protective membranes placed during a bone-grafting procedure to help your upper-front jaw (anterior maxilla) rebuild bone. You might benefit if you have a tooth gap where a tooth was removed at least 3 months ago.
This study tests two different surgical methods to rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so that dental implants can be placed securely. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients with vertical bone loss.
