NCT ID NCT07365852

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a custom 3D-printed surgical guide helps dentists place bone grafts more accurately in the upper jaw compared to doing it free-hand. Thirty people with thin jawbones received bone taken from their chin. The main goal was to measure how much bone width and height were gained, as seen on CT scans. The study is complete and aims to improve dental implant success.
