New Blood-Derived graft may improve dental implant success
NCT ID NCT07584629
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two ways to rebuild jawbone for dental implants in 12 patients. One method used a blood-derived graft (LPRF block), the other used a mix of the patient's own bone and cow bone mineral. Over 25 months, researchers measured bone growth and implant survival. The goal was to see which approach works better for creating a strong foundation for implants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LPRF block (a blood-derived graft) and a mixture of autogenous bone with deproteinized bovine bone mineral
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a better, less invasive way to rebuild jawbone for dental implants, potentially improving implant success and reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (12 patients) and only compares two graft types. Results may not apply to everyone, and bone grafting always carries risks like infection or graft failure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females, with ASA I or II, between 18 and 80 years old * 2 implant sites requiring vertical bone augmentation prior to implant placement * Both sites in the same jaw * Good general health as documented by self-assessment Exclusion Criteria: * Any systemic medical condition that could interfere with the surgical procedure, planned treatment or healing of the patient * Immunosuppression, Diabetes, Anticoagulation or Antiaggregatory medication. * Current pregnancy or breast feeding/ lactating at the time of recruitment. * Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy in head and neck area. * Intravenous and oral bisphosphonate therapy. * Smoking * Unwillingness to return for the follow-up examination. * Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which could represent a general contra-indication for surgical procedure or would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance, or unrealistic expectations * Presence of osseous pathologies, that might interfere with normal wound healing * Presence of oral lesions (such as ulceration, malignancy) * Local inflammation, including untreated periodontitis * Patients with inadequate oral hygiene or unmotivated for adequate home care
