Can your own tooth be the best bone graft? a trial puts it to the test

NCT ID NCT07723183

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether a bone graft made from a patient's own extracted wisdom tooth works as well as a synthetic material (EthOss) for preserving bone and gum after lower wisdom tooth removal. In a split-mouth design, each participant receives both grafts—one in each socket—and is followed for 24 weeks. Researchers measure pain, swelling, gum healing, and new bone growth to see which material performs better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
auto tooth bone graft (ATB) or synthetic EthOss
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using a patient's own tooth as a graft is a safe and effective option for preserving bone and gum after wisdom tooth removal.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both grafts are already used clinically, so the main question is about comparative performance, not a breakthrough.
