Rebuilding jawbone for dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new material to rebuild the jawbone where it has thinned out, so it can hold a dental implant. It may help people who need a stronger jawbone for tooth replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 or older.
- You must have bone loss in the lower back part of your jaw that is horizontal (the jaw is not wide enough for a dental implant).
- You must have enough space between your upper and lower teeth for the dental implant to fit.
- You must be motivated to take care of your teeth and have good oral hygiene.
- You must not be pregnant, not smoke, and not have any medical condition that could slow down healing.

This study compares two ways to rebuild a narrow lower jawbone so you can get dental implants. One method uses a special bone shell technique, and the other uses a strong fabric material. Your doctor will check if your jawbone is wide enough and healthy for this surgery.
This study tests a new synthetic membrane that helps your jawbone grow wider or taller so you can get dental implants. The membrane is placed during a minor surgical procedure and is designed to encourage your own bone to fill in the gap.
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 study tests two different surgical methods to rebuild the jawbone where teeth are missing, so that dental implants can be placed securely. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients with vertical bone loss.
This trial tests whether donated (allogenic) bone blocks work as well as your own bone to rebuild the jaw so dental implants can be placed. It's for people missing 1-4 teeth where the bone ridge is too thin.
This study tests whether a custom-made porous zirconia shell can help grow new bone in a narrow lower jaw so a dental implant can be placed. It might be a good option if you have a missing back tooth and need more jawbone for an implant.
