NCT ID NCT07394738
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at different materials used to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed. Forty adults will receive either a dentin graft, dentin plus hyaluronic acid, an allograft, or no graft at all. After 4 months, a small bone sample is taken during implant placement to measure new bone growth and how well the graft material integrated.
