Jawbone graft showdown: which technique works best for dental implants?

NCT ID NCT07656662

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

Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques used to rebuild the jawbone so dental implants can be placed. The Split Box Technique and the Split Bone Block Technique both aim to increase bone width. Researchers looked back at records of 31 patients treated at a university dental clinic to see which method led to more bone gain, better long-term stability, and higher implant survival rates.
