Could your own tooth help dental implants hold stronger?
NCT ID NCT07272694
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding bone graft or a patient's own tooth (dentin) graft during split crest surgery helps dental implants work better in narrow jawbones. Twenty-four adults were split into three groups: no graft, bone graft, or dentin graft. Researchers measured bone width and implant stability before surgery, right after, and three months later, with a one-year follow-up. The goal is to find the best way to improve implant success in people with thin jawbones.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bone graft or autologous dentin graft
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a better surgical technique for placing dental implants in people with narrow jawbones, improving implant stability and long-term outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Grafting adds complexity and cost, and there is no guarantee it improves outcomes over the standard technique alone.
