Your own tooth could help save your jawbone after extraction
NCT ID NCT06027528
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Researchers took the extracted tooth, ground it into tiny particles, and mixed it with the patient's own fibrin glue (a natural blood-clotting substance) before placing it back into the socket. They compared this to using the tooth particles alone. The goal was to see which method better maintained the width and height of the jawbone over six months. The trial involved 20 healthy, non-smoking adults with damaged teeth.

- Active substance
- dentin graft with or without autologous fibrin glue
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could improve bone healing after tooth extraction, making future dental implants more successful.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is also limited to people with healthy gums and no major health issues.
