New gel could boost bone healing for dental implants
NCT ID NCT07099846
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gel made from hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides, mixed with a bone graft, helps preserve bone after a tooth extraction. 40 adults needing a single tooth pulled will either get the gel treatment or let the socket heal naturally. After 4 months, a dental implant is placed using a digital workflow, and bone changes are measured with 3D X-rays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bovine-derived bone graft mixed with hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide gel
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could improve bone healing after tooth extraction and make dental implants more successful.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The gel might not improve bone preservation compared to natural healing.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥25-year-old males and females; * good systemic health (self-assessment); * presence of an unrestorable/hopeless tooth with periodontal attachment and buccal bone preserved at least for 2/3rd of the root and not associated with acute periapical pathology; * full mouth bleeding and plaque scores ≤ 25% Exclusion Criteria: * uncontrolled or untreated periodontal disease; * history of local (head and neck) radiation therapy in the past 5 years; * acute endodontic lesion in the test tooth or in the neighbouring areas to the extraction procedure (sites with presence of an asymptomatic chronic lesion are eligible); * medical history that includes uncontrolled diabetes or hepatic or renal disease, or other serious medical conditions that can impact on bone metabolism (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis) or transmittable diseases (e.g. HIV-related disease); * history of alcohol or drug abuse; * smokers of ≥10 cigarettes a day; * self-reported pregnancy or lactation.
