Two surgical techniques for rebuilding jawbone before dental implants

This trial is testing two different surgical techniques to help rebuild bone in your lower jaw when you don't have enough bone width for dental implants. The two approaches being compared are ridge splitting and the sausage technique — both performed during the same surgery as your implant placement. Researchers want to see which method gives better results and fewer complications.

Many patients who want dental implants don't have enough bone width in their jaw to support them. While older bone-building methods work, they can cause problems like infection, long healing times, or bone that doesn't fuse properly. This trial is testing newer, less invasive surgical techniques that might solve these issues and get you to your final implant faster and more safely.
