Porcine vs. bovine bone grafts: which is better for dental implants?
NCT ID NCT07182929
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 56 people who had sinus lift surgery to prepare for dental implants. Half received a graft made from porcine (pig) bone, and the other half received a graft from bovine (cow) bone. Researchers used CT scans to compare how well each material held up over 6 months. The goal was to see if the porcine graft resorbs more than the bovine graft and whether both lead to similar bone quality for implant success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Deproteinized porcine bone mineral (DPBM) vs. deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM)
What this could lead to
If DPBM works as well as DBBM, it could give dentists another safe option for bone grafting in sinus lift procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study that only looks at X-ray images, not actual patient outcomes. The results may not apply to everyone, and longer-term studies are needed.
