Could eggshells help save your jawbone? new trial tests a cheap alternative
NCT ID NCT07404098
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a graft made from eggshell-derived nanohydroxyapatite, combined with a patient's own blood components, can preserve jawbone after a tooth extraction. Thirty-four adults with a hopeless back tooth will receive either this new graft or a standard animal-derived graft. The goal is to see if the eggshell-based option maintains bone density and promotes healing just as well, potentially offering a cheaper and more available alternative.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eggshell-derived nanohydroxyapatite combined with platelet-rich fibrin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a cheaper, readily available alternative for preserving jawbone after tooth extraction, reducing the need for more complex bone grafts.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The eggshell-derived material may not work as well as standard grafts, and long-term outcomes are unknown.
