Dental bone graft study tests if 'Natural Shape' beats 'Extra Bulk' for implant success
NCT ID NCT06999915
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding bone graft up to a person's natural bone line (IPD) or slightly beyond it leads to better long-term stability after dental implant surgery. Twenty-eight adults needing a tooth replacement in the upper jaw will receive an implant and bone graft, with half getting a standard graft and half getting a slightly larger one. Over a year, the researchers will track bone changes, gum health, and patient satisfaction using CT scans and exams.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bovine bone mineral graft (Bio-Oss collagen) and bone level implant
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists choose the best bone-grafting approach for more predictable and stable dental implant outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The extra bone graft may not improve stability and could cause complications.
