New bone shell technique could strengthen zygomatic implants
NCT ID NCT07394179
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods to improve bone and gum health around zygomatic implants in patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. One group gets a bone lamina shell with bone granules, while the other uses a buccal fat pad. The goal is to see which approach gives better bone gain and gum contour. Twenty-four adults will take part in this randomized trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bone lamina shell and xenogenic particulate bone graft
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve bone and gum stability around zygomatic implants, reducing complications and enhancing long-term implant success.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Surgical risks like infection or graft failure are possible.
