Bone graft showdown: which material keeps your jaw strongest after a tooth pull?
NCT ID NCT07565558
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested two different materials—one from cow bone and one from donated human bone—for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is removed. Forty adults with a tooth that could not be saved had the socket filled with one of these materials. The researchers measured bone width and height changes over six months using 3D X-rays. The goal was to see which material better maintains bone shape 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
socket preservation with xenograft (Geistlich Bio-Oss) or allograft
What this could lead to
If one material proves better, dentists may have clearer guidance on which to use for preserving bone after tooth extraction, improving future implant success.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares materials but does not test long-term implant outcomes.
