Can a Hydrogel-Enhanced graft build better bone for dental implants?
NCT ID NCT07737704
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new bone substitute made from animal bone and hydrogel for sinus lifts, a procedure to add bone in the upper jaw for dental implants. It compares this graft to a graftless method that relies on the body's own bone formation. Thirty adults with thin jawbone will undergo the procedure, and researchers will measure bone growth, swelling, and pain over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a hydrogel-enhanced xenograft (bone substitute) for maxillary sinus floor augmentation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective option for building bone in the upper jaw, making dental implants possible for more people.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial. The new graft may not perform better than the graftless method, and there are risks of swelling, pain, or infection after surgery.
