Can a natural compound help preserve jawbone after tooth loss?
NCT ID NCT07765745
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a gel made from thymoquinone, a compound found in black seed oil, can help preserve bone density and width in the jaw after a tooth is removed. Adults aged 18 to 50 who need an upper back tooth extracted may participate. Participants will receive either a standard gel foam, a thymoquinone gel, or a nano-formulated thymoquinone gel placed in the socket, and bone changes will be tracked with 3D imaging.
