New bone putty could strengthen dental implants in the smile zone
NCT ID NCT07700706
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests two bone-grafting materials—silicate-added β-TCP putty and extended sticky bone—against no grafting for filling gaps around dental implants placed immediately after tooth extraction in the front upper jaw. Researchers will measure implant stability and bone loss using special devices and scans. The goal is to find the best approach for preserving bone and tissue in the visible smile area.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- silicate-added β-TCP putty and extended sticky bone (bone-grafting materials)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a better way to fill bone gaps around dental implants, improving implant stability and long-term success.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Bone grafting 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 with non-restorable teeth in maxillary esthetic zone requiring dental extraction. * Age range: from18 to 50 years. * Adequate inter-arch relation and inter-occlusal space to accommodate the prosthetic restoration. * Jumping gap more than 2mm. * Patients with good oral hygiene. * Patients willing to participate in the study's follow-up intervals. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site impaired the immediate implant placement. * Alcohol or drug abuse. * Smokers. * Patients with systemic diseases that absolutely contraindicate implant placement (bleeding disorders, immunosuppression,…etc.) * Pregnancy. * Patients with para-functional habits (bruxism and clenching). * Lack of motivation or inability to maintain good oral hygiene.
