NCT ID NCT07268456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether custom-made titanium meshes could help rebuild lost jawbone in 15 people who needed dental implants. The meshes were designed using 3D imaging and computer modeling to fit each person's defect. Results measured how much new bone grew and how often the mesh became exposed.
