Dental implant breakthrough: CT scans may predict bone growth

NCT ID NCT06246253

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new way to predict bone formation around dental implants placed right after tooth extraction. Researchers used CT scans to measure the gap between the implant and the bone, aiming to see if a larger gap leads to more new bone. The study involved 50 patients and was completed in Egypt.
