Can your own tooth help save your jawbone? new trial investigates
NCT ID NCT07239193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two bone grafting materials to see which better preserves the jawbone after a molar is pulled. One material is made from the patient's own extracted tooth, mixed with a blood concentrate; the other uses a standard bone substitute mixed with the patient's blood. The trial will enroll 24 adults aged 18 to 55 who need a molar removed and are otherwise healthy. Researchers will measure bone width, height, and density using 3D X-rays, and track pain levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Demineralized Dentin Matrix (DDM) with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a better, more natural way to preserve jawbone after tooth removal, potentially improving future dental implant success.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The materials are experimental and may not outperform standard options.
