Jaw bone breakthrough: new study tests better membranes for dental implants
NCT ID NCT07254494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of membranes used to help grow bone in the lower jaw before placing dental implants. One membrane dissolves over time, while the other stays in place. The goal is to see which works better for people with thinning jawbone. About 30 adults will take part and be followed for one year.
