New synthetic membrane for jawbone growth before dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing one or more teeth in your upper or lower jaw and need a dental implant.
- You don't have enough bone width or height to place an implant without a special procedure.
- Your gums are healthy, with no active infection or inflammation in the area.
- You are generally healthy or have well-controlled medical conditions (like diabetes or high blood pressure).
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, and you are willing to stop smoking for at least 2 weeks before surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have not taken strong bone medications (like Fosamax) for more than 3 years.

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 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.
This study tests a new way to grow bone around dental implants using your own bone chips and a special growth factor. It may help dental implants integrate better and last longer.
This study tests whether a collagen membrane (a thin, natural material) placed after a tooth extraction helps preserve the jaw bone. Keeping bone healthy can make future tooth replacement easier and more successful.
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 study tests a new combination of materials (a special gel and a bone graft) used after tooth extraction to help preserve the bone in your jaw for a future dental implant. It aims to see if this approach keeps the bone strong and healthy compared to standard treatment.
