Bone graft or not? study tests best approach for Same-Day dental implants
NCT ID NCT07705399
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a small piece of the patient's own bone (autogenous bone graft) helps a dental implant placed right after a tooth extraction heal better in the lower premolar area. Twenty adults needing a lower premolar pulled will get an immediate implant, with or without the graft, using a precise surgical tool called piezosurgery. Researchers will check implant stability, bone levels, and gum health over time to see which approach works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autogenous bone graft harvested via piezosurgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding a bone graft improves implant stability and long-term success for immediate implants in the lower premolar area.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Bone grafting also carries risks like infection or graft failure.
