Can a Blood-Based filler beat bone grafts for tooth implants?
NCT ID NCT07797452
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether filling the gap around a new lower molar implant with a bone graft material, a blood-derived product called e-PRF, or nothing at all leads to better healing. Researchers will measure changes in gum and bone using 3D scans and check implant stability. The study includes 30 people who need a lower molar extracted and replaced with an implant. The goal is to find which approach preserves tissue best around the implant.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Xenograft particulates or e-PRF (patient-derived platelet-rich fibrin) placed in the gap around an immediate dental implant
- What this could lead to
- If one grafting material works better, dentists may have a clearer choice for preserving bone and gum around immediate molar implants, improving long-term outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Grafting materials can sometimes cause inflammation or healing issues, and the best option may vary by patient.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Any partially dentate patients with non-restorable mandibular molar requiring dental extraction. * Extraction sockets with intact bony walls and interradicular bone. * Jumping gap more than 2mm. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site impaired the immediate implant placement. * Heavy smokers (≥ pack per day) * Pregnancy. * Patients with systemic diseases that absolutely contraindicate implant placement or para-functional habits (bruxism or clenching). * Patients with poor oral hygiene or aggressive periodontal disease.
