Bone graft options for a thin jawbone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild bone in the back of the lower jaw so a dental implant can be placed. It uses your own blood to make a sticky bone graft, versus using a graft from cow bone with a collagen membrane.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing back teeth in your lower jaw.
- The jawbone in that area is thin (less than 5.5 mm wide).
- You have enough firm, healthy gum tissue in the area.
- You do not have an active infection or a dental cyst near the missing teeth.
- You are generally healthy and do not have a medical condition that would complicate the procedure.
- You do not grind or clench your teeth, are not a heavy smoker, and do not have a drinking problem.

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 using a small piece of bone from your lower jaw to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can hold a dental implant. It compares using the bone alone versus covering it with a collagen membrane to see which works better.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
This trial compares two ways of building up bone in the upper front jaw before dental implants. It may help people who don't have enough bone to support an implant.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow lower jawbone using a special blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) to make room for a dental implant. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone width for implants.
