ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different methods for improving bone in the upper jaw, also known as the maxilla, specifically in areas where there has been bone loss. The study will compare the use of a collagen membrane placed over a special mixture of bone particles and an onlay bone block, against using just the bone mixture and onlay block without the collagen membrane. The goal is to see if the collagen membrane helps create more bone in the area.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have enough remaining bone height and width in their jaw to support the procedure. This includes people who have lost at least one tooth and may have had issues with previous dental implants or bone grafts. However, individuals who smoke heavily, abuse alcohol or drugs, have certain medical conditions, or are pregnant will not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to receive either of the two treatment methods, and the research team will monitor your progress to see how well the bone develops over time.
