Bone graft comparison for jaw ridge widening
This trial tests different mixtures of your own bone and donor bone to rebuild the jaw where teeth are missing, so dental implants can fit. It aims to find the best combination for strong, lasting results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.
- You are missing at least two lower back teeth.
- The jawbone where teeth are missing is narrow (4 mm or less) but tall enough (at least 9 mm).
- You have enough space between your upper and lower teeth for the implant crown.
- You have good oral hygiene and are willing to attend follow-up visits for 6 months.
- You are generally healthy, not pregnant, not a smoker, and not taking medications like steroids, bisphosphonates, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

This study compares two different mixtures of your own bone and donor bone to rebuild the jaw before dental implants. It aims to find which mix works better for people who need more bone width in their lower back jaw.
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 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 trial compares two types of bone graft materials for rebuilding the jawbone so you can later get dental implants. One is a freeze-dried bone from a donor (allograft), and the other is a small piece of your own bone (autograft).
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.
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.
