New study tests stronger membranes for better jawbone building
NCT ID NCT07525128
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different collagen membranes used in guided bone regeneration to widen the jawbone for dental implants. Ten healthy adults with narrow jawbones will receive a bone graft covered by either a standard cross-linked membrane or a stronger porcine peritoneum membrane. The goal is to see which membrane leads to more bone width gain, helping improve implant success.

Inclusion Criteria: * \- Patients aged 20 to 75 years. * Healthy individuals, either non-smokers or smokers consuming fewer than 10 cigarettes per day. * Full mouth bleeding score (FmBS) below 20%. * Full mouth plaque score (FmPS) below 15%. * Presence of a residual alveolar ridge with a bone width of less than 6 mm but sufficient bone height in the maxilla or mandible. * Tooth extraction must have been performed at least six weeks prior to surgery. * Adequate number of teeth to allow for the use of an occlusal stent or radiographic guide. Exclusion Criteria: * \- Presence of systemic illnesses. * Smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day. * Underwent radiotherapy in the head or neck region within the past 5 years. * Active periodontitis affecting the remaining teeth. * Pregnancy. * Use of medications that could impact bone turnover or mucosal healing, such as tetracycline in the last month, steroids within the past 6 months, bisphosphonates, therapeutic doses of fluorides, or vitamin D and its metabolites within the last 6 months.
