NCT ID NCT07777588

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a graft made from your own extracted tooth (demineralized dentin) can preserve the jawbone's width and density as well as a standard bone graft material (xenograft) after a tooth is removed. Forty adults needing a premolar extraction will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two materials. Researchers will measure changes in bone width, volume, density, and gum tissue over time to see which approach better maintains the socket for future dental work.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Autogenous demineralized dentin matrix (made from the patient's own tooth) compared with a xenograft bone graft material
What this could lead to
If effective, using a patient's own tooth material could offer a natural, low-cost way to preserve jawbone shape and density after tooth extraction, potentially improving future implant placement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply broadly. The procedure's success depends on surgical technique and healing, and there is a risk of infection or graft failure.
