Stem cells and 3D printing team up to regrow jaw bone
NCT ID NCT05241548
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to rebuild lost jaw bone using a patient's own stem cells mixed with a 3D-printed scaffold. Seven adults with missing teeth in the front of the mouth received the treatment. The goal was to see if this approach could safely create enough new bone to support dental implants.
