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.

This trial tests a new synthetic membrane to help grow bone in the jaw so you can get a dental implant. It's for people who are missing teeth and have too little bone for a standard implant.
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 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.
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.
