Dental bone graft showdown: which material heals better?
NCT ID NCT04338516
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how well two different bone graft materials help the jawbone heal after a tooth is pulled. Fifty-four adults each had one non-molar tooth extracted, and the socket was filled with either Ossix™ Bone or Bio-Oss® Collagen. After 16 weeks, a small bone sample was taken to measure new bone growth, how much graft material remained, and the amount of other tissue. The goal was to see if one material leads to better healing for future dental implants.
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 materials (Ossix™ Bone and Bio-Oss® Collagen)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists choose better materials for preserving jawbone after tooth extraction, improving outcomes for dental implants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures healing at a tissue level, not long-term implant success.
