ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a procedure to help patients with bone atrophy, specifically focusing on how to rebuild the upper jaw (maxillary ridge) that has lost bone. The researchers want to compare two different sources of bone blocks used for this reconstruction: one taken from the iliac crest (the top part of the hip bone) and the other from the calvarial bones (the bones of the skull). The goal is to see which method provides better results in terms of gaining the necessary bone width.
To be eligible for this trial, patients should have a specific type of bone deficiency in their upper jaw that is less than 5 millimeters wide and cannot have had any previous treatments for this area or any diseases that might affect how the bone heals. Participants can expect to have their bone structure improved, which may help if they need dental implants in the future. The trial is currently looking for volunteers of all genders aged between 18 and 65, so if you or someone you know fits this description and is interested, it could be a good opportunity to contribute to important research.
