Synthetic membrane could help grow jawbone for dental implants
NCT ID NCT07701473
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new synthetic membrane, called Inox Nanoksa G-Plus, can help rebuild bone in the upper or lower jaw for adults who need dental implants but lack sufficient bone width or height. All participants receive the same surgery: the membrane is placed under the gums along with a bone graft material to guide new bone growth. The study measures pain, swelling, and bleeding in the first week, and uses 3D X-rays at 6 months to check how much new bone formed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Inox Nanoksa G-Plus Membrane, a synthetic non-resorbable barrier used with bone graft to rebuild jawbone
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this membrane could offer a reliable synthetic option for jawbone rebuilding, helping more people get dental implants without needing a second surgical site for bone harvesting.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study (12 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include infection, membrane exposure, or insufficient bone growth.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Partial edentulism in the maxilla or mandible requiring single or multiple implant-supported restorations. * Insufficient bone volume for standard implant placement, defined as: * Horizontal defect: residual ridge width \< 5 mm at the intended implant site, OR * Vertical defect: residual ridge height \< 8 mm above vital structures (mandibular canal, maxillary sinus, nasal floor). * Healthy oral mucosa with no signs of active infection or inflammation at the defect site. * Systemically healthy or with well-controlled medical conditions (American Society of Anesthesiologists - ASA class I or II). Exclusion Criteria: * Untreated periodontitis or active peri-implant disease. * Current or previous treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates (or oral bisphosphonates for \> 3 years). * Severe immunosuppression or chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy (\> 10 mg/day prednisolone for \> 3 months). * Active smoking (\> 10 cigarettes per day). Smoking cessation for at least 2 weeks before surgery is required; heavy smokers may be excluded. * Pregnant or lactating women.
