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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients requiring extraction of mandibular premolars. * Age ≥ 25 years. * Adequate oral hygiene and motivated patients for implant treatment. * Sufficient bone volume to allow immediate implant placement (with or without minor augmentation). * Patients willing to participate and attend follow-up visits for at least 6 months. * Systemically healthy patients (ASA I or II). Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, immunocompromised patients). * Heavy smokers (e.g., \>10-15 cigarettes/day). * Active periodontal or acute infection at the implant site. * Poor oral hygiene or non-compliant patients. * Pregnancy or lactation. * History of radiotherapy in head and neck region. * Severe bone deficiency not suitable for immediate implant placement.
