Jawbone widening breakthrough: blood clots and gels pave way for new teeth

NCT ID NCT07412535

First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tested two materials—a blood-derived platelet-rich fibrin or a hyaluronate-enriched bone graft—to widen a narrow upper jawbone so dental implants could be placed later. Thirty-four adults with a thin ridge (3-6 mm wide) but adequate bone height received the treatment via a small tunnel under the gum. After six months, the amount of new bone width and density were measured by CT scans to see which material worked better.
