Dental bone graft showdown: which material works best for implants?
NCT ID NCT07212985
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways to rebuild jawbone for dental implants in 40 adults with narrow upper front jaws. One method used a block of bone from the chin mixed with cow-derived bone particles; the other used a synthetic material. Researchers measured bone width changes and complications over 6 months to see which approach worked better.
