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

Summary

This study compares two surgical flap methods for bone grafting in the front upper jaw. Twenty-four adults with horizontal bone loss will receive either a conventional flap or a vestibular shifted flap. The goal is to see which technique leads to more bone gain and better gum tissue quality after six months.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a better surgical technique for rebuilding bone in the upper jaw, potentially improving outcomes for dental implants.
