Can a bone graft boost jawbone healing around new implants?
NCT ID NCT07761195
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether placing a bone graft material (Gen-Os) in the socket right after tooth extraction helps the jawbone heal better around a new dental implant. Forty healthy adults who need implants on both sides of the lower front jaw will receive a graft on one side and no graft on the other. Using X-rays taken at 1 and 3 months, researchers will measure bone microstructure with fractal analysis to see if the grafted side shows more complex, healthier bone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bone grafting with Gen-Os bone graft material placed in the extraction socket during immediate implant placement
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that bone grafting improves early bone healing around immediate dental implants, potentially guiding better implant procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (40 people) using X-ray image analysis as a proxy for bone quality, not direct clinical outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or implant sites.
