Bone protein for dental implant stability
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a lower dose of a bone-growing protein (rhBMP-2) is as good as the standard dose for helping dental implants stay stable and reducing bone loss around the implant. If you need a single implant for a missing lower back tooth, this study might help you get the implant with a potentially lighter treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 55 years old.
- You need to have exactly one missing back tooth (in the lower jaw) that needs a dental implant.
- You should be in good general health or have any medical conditions well under control.
- The bone at the implant site must be dense enough and have enough volume (at least 6 mm wide and 10 mm tall).
- You must have good oral hygiene habits.
- You cannot be a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day), have untreated gum disease, be pregnant or breastfeeding, or have had radiation or chemotherapy in the jaw area.

This trial looks at a better way to place dental implants by using your own bone chips and a special blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow around the implant. It may be an option if you need a tooth replaced but have good overall health and healthy gums.
This study tests a bone-grafting approach (using processed donor bone particles, with or without a growth factor) to help dental implants work when the jaw bone is too narrow. It may help people get implants placed more safely and effectively in areas with missing teeth.
This study compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
This study compares two types of bone graft materials used to rebuild the jawbone before placing a dental implant. It aims to see which works better for people with a thin jawbone, helping to support a new tooth.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant along with a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild bone around the implant. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a single implant and have a small bone defect on the cheek side.
This trial tests if adding parathyroid hormone to a bone graft improves bone growth in the upper jaw before placing dental implants. It may help people who have lost teeth and have very little bone in the sinus area.
