Which putty preserves your jawbone best? new trial tests two graft materials
NCT ID NCT05484492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different bone graft putties—one made from donated human bone and one synthetic—to see which better preserves the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Thirty adults who needed a tooth removed and planned to get a dental implant took part. After 4 months, the researchers measured bone width, height, and soft tissue thickness, and checked a small bone sample under a microscope to see how much new bone had formed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bone graft putty (either demineralized/mineralized allograft or synthetic calcium phosphosilicate)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists choose the best graft material to preserve jawbone for future dental implants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The grafts may not show a clear difference in healing or bone quality.
