Comparing two ways to rebuild jawbone for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild bone in the back lower jaw using special barriers (custom 3D zirconia or titanium mesh) to support a dental implant. It may help if you have severe bone loss and want an implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be in good general health with no major medical conditions.
- You should not smoke more than 25 cigarettes a day.
- You must have a severe lack of bone in the back of your lower jaw (less than 7 mm tall and less than 5 mm wide).
- You cannot have had a previous bone graft in that same spot.
- You should be able to keep your mouth and teeth clean, and have no active gum disease.

This study tests different methods of building up shrunken jawbone so there is enough bone to place a dental implant. It is for people with missing teeth who have not had this kind of surgery before.
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 two surgical methods to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can support dental implants. It compares using a solid block of your own bone versus a thin shell of bone to widen the ridge.
This study tests a new 3D-printed zirconia barrier to see if it helps grow bone better than a standard titanium mesh. It may be an option if you need more jawbone for dental implants.
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.
This trial is testing a custom-made titanium mesh (built with a 3D printer) to help regrow bone in your jaw where teeth are missing. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe bone loss and need a strong foundation for dental implants.
