NCT ID NCT06472453
First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study compares two bone graft materials used to preserve jawbone after a tooth is pulled. One group gets a mix of human and animal bone graft, the other gets human bone graft alone. The goal is to see which better maintains bone shape for future dental implants. About 24 adults needing a tooth extraction and implant will take part over roughly two years.

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 materials (human bone substitute and animal bone substitute)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that mixing human and animal bone grafts preserves jawbone better than human bone alone, potentially improving dental implant outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include typical surgical discomfort from tooth extraction and implant placement.
As listed by the trial registrant
