ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new surgical technique called "Fixation Free Sandwich Osteotomy" that uses a special type of bone graft to help patients with a specific condition known as vertical ridge deficiency in the upper jaw (maxilla). This condition can make it difficult to place dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth. The study aims to understand if this new technique provides better results compared to the standard method of sandwich osteotomy, particularly in terms of healing and bone stability.

To participate in the trial, you need to be an adult between the ages of 18 and 60, with good oral hygiene and no serious health issues that could affect healing. You should have at least two missing teeth in the front of your mouth, and your jawbone must meet certain size requirements. If you’re interested, you’ll be part of a study that may help improve dental procedures for people with similar conditions. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be some time before it begins.
