Your extracted tooth may become the next bone graft
NCT ID NCT07789262
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a graft made from a patient's own extracted tooth can preserve the jawbone that normally shrinks after tooth removal. Researchers compare four approaches: no graft, dentin graft alone, dentin graft combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) from the patient's blood, and a standard freeze-dried bone allograft. Four months later, they take small bone samples to measure new bone formation, blood vessel growth, and a bone-building protein. The goal is to see if the patient's own tooth, which would otherwise be thrown away, can work as well as or better than current bone substitutes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Autogenous dentin graft, alone or combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), compared with freeze-dried bone allograft or no grafting
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could turn a discarded tooth into a low-cost, effective way to preserve jawbone after extraction, potentially reducing the need for additional bone-building procedures before dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The graft material is processed from the patient's own tooth, and outcomes depend on individual healing.
