Donor bone vs. your own bone: which works better for jaw repair?
NCT ID NCT07367464
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different bone graft mixtures for rebuilding the upper jaw in people who don't have enough bone for dental implants. One group gets a mix of animal bone and donor bone, while the other gets animal bone mixed with the patient's own bone taken from the lower jaw. Researchers will use CT scans and tissue samples to see which approach leads to better bone growth and width after 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bone graft (xenograft mixed with allograft or autograft)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a less invasive option for rebuilding jawbone using donor bone instead of harvesting the patient's own bone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply widely. There is also a risk of graft failure or infection.
