ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a technique called guided bone regeneration to help patients with insufficient bone in their upper jaw, which can be necessary for dental implants. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive a mixture of their own bone and a type of animal bone, covered with a special material, while the other group will have the same mixture but covered with a different, dissolvable material. The goal is to see which method works better in helping to rebuild the bone.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should have a certain amount of bone height and width in their jaw, at least one missing tooth, and should not have serious health issues that could affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or a history of certain cancers. If you join the trial, you can expect several steps, including imaging tests before and after the procedure, surgery to collect and mix the bone, and careful follow-up to ensure everything is healing well. This research aims to improve dental procedures for those who need bone augmentation.
