New dental technique shows promise for rebuilding jawbone
NCT ID NCT07209618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a new way to fix horizontal jawbone loss by placing a dental implant at the same time as a bone graft. Sixteen patients were treated and followed to see how well the implants and grafts healed. The results showed high implant survival and good bone integration, suggesting this combined approach may be effective.
