Steroid-Soaked bone grafts tested for faster dental healing
NCT ID NCT06556095
Summary
This study tested whether soaking bone graft material in a steroid solution (dexamethasone) before placing it in a tooth socket leads to better bone healing compared to using regular saline solution. Researchers enrolled 44 adults who needed a tooth extracted and planned to get a dental implant later. They examined small bone samples taken during implant placement to measure how much new bone formed after about 16 weeks of healing.
