New study tests bone grafting to make dental implants more reliable

NCT ID NCT07427784

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether placing a bone graft in the tooth socket right after extraction helps preserve the jawbone for future dental implants. Fifty adults who need implants will receive the graft and be followed with scans and checkups. The goal is to see if this approach allows standard-sized implants to be placed without extra bone surgery.
