Bone graft technique study for upper dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of building up the jawbone before placing a dental implant in the upper front or premolar area. If you're missing one tooth and have enough healthy bone, it aims to see which method gives better long-term support for your new tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have at least 20 natural permanent teeth left.
- You must be missing exactly one tooth in the upper jaw, from the middle tooth (central incisor) back to the first premolar.
- The gap should be relatively narrow — the bone ridge at the missing tooth should be between 4 and 7 mm wide.
- You must not be a current heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day) or a former heavy smoker who quit less than a year ago.
- You must be in generally good health, without uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or other conditions that affect healing, and without active infection at the site.

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 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 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 study compares two surgical techniques for building up bone in the lower jaw where it is too thin for dental implants. The goal is to find which method gives a better foundation for placing implants, helping you get a secure and lasting tooth replacement.
This study tests a bone-building technique for people missing back teeth in the lower jaw. It aims to make the jawbone wide enough for dental implants, which could help you chew more comfortably.
This study tests a new way to place a dental implant in the upper front teeth area. It uses a special material to help the bone heal better around the implant, which may keep the area looking natural.
